BlrwestSiR Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 This is a side build while I wait for assemblies to dry on the Sheridan. It'll be OOb to make things easier. I hope. Looks like I know where the Dragon DS styrene has been hiding... One nice thing is the rubber tires are separate from the rims. Makes painting much easier.

Peterpools Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Carl Nice choice for a 'side build' and you're absolutely on an armor roll. Looking mighty good 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Is that an M60 under all the ERA ? Go for it Carl - this GB is certainly bringing out the interesting subjects 😀 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Suspension is now complete. Meng has given the kit working torsion springs. I'm not too sure about them as the suspension arms don't seem to sit level. Worse case, I just glue the arms in place. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 You seem to be a bit on a roll with tank suspensions lately, Carl. Looking good and seems to be a nicely detailed kit. Cheers Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polycaps that hold the road wheels on aren't in the box. Didn't even know it had any so they must have gotten missed. I'll have to come up with something. Otherwise the fit is too sloppy to be any good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a polycap crisis with my Churchill build....still have no idea where they Went...Anyway emailed Tamiya and got them free in a few days....hope you find some. I wouldn't want your build sidelined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 I probably have some spares somewhere. The big problem is the box where I keep all my spare/leftover armour kit pieces is completely buried by other stuff and not accessible. The basement is partway through yet another reorganization so until that's done, I can't get to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
