Thanks Thanks Boris and Rhaven. At this point instructions send the builder to finish placing all parts on an armor in free order. So those are all parts that left, before i will start to assemble a turret. From 264 to 304. I decided to go by ascending numbers. Armored plug for bow machine...

Rear stowage box Attached to armor On real tank it was slid on two upper brackets and secured with pins and screwed on two lower brackets with bolts.

Thanks everybody After a quick vacation and Euro 2020 i am back to assembling :) Front hatches hoods. Rotating periscope guard was made from solder wire and glued together. First you need to align hoods position on hatches. Then place the hinges and glue only to hoods. And last glue to...

Next is gun travel lock. A lot of fiddling parts, but i managed to put it together and leave everything movable. Here is lock assembled with secure hinge Lock placed on it's marking Down position when not in use Up position when in use Open lock Fun fact: gun travel lock was...

Thanks friends Next part is radiator bulge. Assembled without problems Bulge in place with open cup

Thanks, guys! :cool: Now back to the fun, nonrepeatable stuff :) Engine hatch door Simple, but you need to pay attention with hinges and dry fit the door, before gluing. Also, there is interesting thing with handles. They not supposed to be glued on top, but rather inserted through...

Thanks! Before i continue i want to add to the last step - you must pay attention when you assembling wheel disks. There is rear and front. Front is with drawn housings and bolts. Also, when wheels attached to bogies - put it with front outside. Now, back to the links. If you follow my thread...

Wheels are attached to bogies. Suspension is ready! Now, find a difference Frankly, I'm disappointed by the designer - how could he omit joining bolts between rubbing plate and suspension arm... Nah, just kidding! :) The detailing is as always top notch! Almost like a real thing. And...

Thanks Micah Finally! I finished road wheels. I must admit, that i really don't like repeated assembling and especially with tiny parts. And the irony is that i build mostly armor vehicles :) Last step was in process And finished Now i only need to put it on bogies and done.

I prefer to post process and finished details, so you can see the end assembling.. But road wheels take much time to assemble, so i decided to post some pictures before i finish. As i stated before the key is conveyer assembling Power structure finished Outer stripes glued Inner rings...

I don't know if it is the newer, because i have it for over 15 years now, but my type is with ratchet handle, yes. I tried to use it before and was not satisfied with results, but i think you just need to get used to it and find the optimal handling. Now i used it in this model and it was easier...

Thanks guys Micro update. Took a lot of time to cut all the parts and touch the edges with paint. Finally i started to use circular cuter from OLFA that i had for years :) Helped a lot cutting wheel parts. Now Ford conveyer again. ;) First step is in process

Excellent build my friend! You dealt well with all those problems! :)

Good job on this model, Boris! Yes it brings memories. By the way, you remember that there is still waiting another nostalgic model of a crane, for you? ;)

Hi everybody Progress was a little slow last month... Next step in bogie assembly was track support roller with bracket and track skid. Started with rollers Continued with roller mounts Attached them to rollers Then support bracket And parts are ready Bent six track skids...

Work in progress :)

Thanks pals. Updated with missing picture of skin parts

Remember me? :) Continued to assembled bogies Connected all the parts and closed with front panel Now it was time to put a skin on the frame. It is one big part that overlaps from all sides

Looks good!

Well, i did a mistake - i glued two plates 246 and 249 on narrow side. It was obvious for me, because the width was the same, but the right side is the lengthy one. Already corrected it. Sorry i confused you. :rolleyes:
