Got this ikea moppe box from my spouse. I used abrams box art to cover this unpainted plain looking box. And that handle came from that same 1/16 abrams box too😄. Just need to attach it. -

Really good fit. Instructions wants you glue exhaust last. That not true. You can glue back half first. -

Yes. You are absolutely right. Top half will cover most of the tracks. So no need for adjustment. -

Or this way one can repair if track pin is damaged in box. There were few track pins which were seriously warped, lyckily not broken. -

Most of tracks weathered and varnish on. I made one track pin removable for easier removal if necessary. -

Thank you for kind words 🙂. I will try to treat every piece and panel as separate item for weathering. Hopefully I can continue this soon. Merry Christmas to you🎅. -

Front suspension unit. There is interconnecting link between 1. and 2. wheel. Maybe it used to compensate track tension when 2. wheel hits bump thus 1. wheel creates more tension? Test fitting engine deck parts. -
Nice finds. I noticed this gun barrel tool from youtube video. Please share info how good it is. Is this handle bending tool step in 1 mm increments?

This kit does not contain any suspension arm attaching srews. You supposed to just glue them in place and hope for the best. Luckily it is very easy to make some spacers and use random srews from tool box. Now i have possibily to fine tune stance if necessary. -

Thank you Rob🙂. Yes i am planning to weather tyres. Also get rid off that middle seam. Just tested that my track length might be spot on. -

Test fitting suspension arms. 3D printed sprocket was perfect fit also☺️. I hope that one extra link is enough per side because this sprocket is bigger than normal.
