Thanks everyone for positive feedback 
Assembled upper springs bed.
You need to glue a ring from two pieces: inner and outer.
So i bent them and glued together asymmetrically, which gave a little tab to close the ring.
Also spent several evenings to cut bogie frame parts
At this stage i used three (!) different thickness carboards: 0.7, 1, 1.5 mm

Both your attention to detail and how clean, clear, and crisp your work is, amazes me every time that I see it. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
A neat trick with gluing inside and outside ring parts. The last paper model I built with inner and outer ring parts I looked at and thought 'How can I close this ..." and came up with the offset and flaps.
This is by far and away, the best build I've seen. Great Work.

I still think he has a shrink ray in his pocket, and this is a real Sherman that he shrunk...

I ran out of words and exclmations a while ago. Now I just don't know what to post. :Bravo:
Say ''This model is definitely worthy of merit. A showcase model!''
Finished bogie frame parts.
A lot of lamination here
Here you can see that detail 248 was rounded on one edge to make slim corner
And all parts are ready to be assembled together

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.

These look like production parts like those I was used to seeing at Sikorsky Aircraft, even the finish. They look like treated, ready to use production parts. In fact, they are.
