I also build slow. This little fellow took me two years! And there so many models I want to build in the future.

Thanks mijob and Zathros Next step is machine guns bar. Then weapon telescopic sight. Love this little assemblies. Decided to attach it to bar, and later machine guns as well, and then put it on axis. Errors: None

Some progress on turret. Made front mask, Main hatch door and visor covers. In this stage only visor covers assembled on place. For easy access, hatch door will be attached only in the end. Front mask will be attached after rocking mechanism for two machine guns be assembled. As I...

Thanks guys! This page is the last in assembling - dedicated whole to the turret. Started with basic structure. This was the easiest I've made, especially after Sherman's one ;) Added rivets from inside. Errors: Ring strip details 419, 419a are too long. In addition, there is...

Thanks friends! Finished second track. glued center guides (teeth) and assembled two tracks on place. Approx. 83 links to each side One last step remains - turret. Erros: Front and rear drawing shows incorrect direction of tracks. Better look on the real one. ;)

Minor update. One month - one strip of tracks. Another one to go. Stay tuned!

I do like this also, just because of this reason and more convenient way to cut holes on bigger area. What I meant is to cut the part itself separately. It is more work, but easier to cut. Then you can laminate it together and send for solid line. Just wondering...:)

Why don't you cut out each part separately and then glue together?

Sorry, missed your reply. No, I do not copy and print test pieces, everything is built from original ones.

Happy New Year, everyone! My progress for now: 170 link pieces cut, 350 link teeth cut, all parts retouched with color. Started to assemble several links, to see how it goes...The process is slow, because they are small and fragile, but with lot of time and patience it can be done. Already...

Great start. May I ask on which paper did you print? Density? And very useful tip with hole punch. I also have those, but still unable to use them properly.

Finaly finished with this disaster... I have to admit this was the worst experience in building suspension the I had. Apart from problems with wheels, rocking levers and springs had no strong points of joint and tended to break apart whole time of assembling. Supporting rods base, despite that...

Thanks friends! Wheels struggling is finished. As I was afraid - all six main wheels were designed with errors. This excludes the other two bigger rear tension wheels. I assume there was a mistake in wheel diameter corresponding to scale, so it was reduced a little... but all other parts were...

I gathered the will and got back to the model... At least it gives some escapism. So, continued with rear suspension levers and springs Rocker lever and tension mechanism. There was some odd numbering in parts: part 602 belongs to tension mechanism that has later group of numbers, but was in...

Hi all Continue straggling with suspension. Assembled front suspension lever mechanism, except wheels. Front rocker levers - designed well, but there was a mistake with mirroring part. Luckly it won't be seen. Rear springs - many small parts and very fragile construction, because...

Thanks guys! First two front wheels. I struggled with those and still don't understand if it is my mistake or design flaw. I cut inner ring diameter precisely, but inner strip was half mm big and afterwards wheels spokes didn't match in it. So, I was in need to adjust one by one. By default...

Hi After summer vacation - back to the model. Continue with suspension. In this tank it is unique and complex... I wonder what the reason behind this engineering idea was. Nevertheless, front lever with amortization. A lot of small parts. Here is the comparison to toothpick Whole...

Continue with supporting rollers Noting to tell here :) Errors: none

Drive wheel Nothing special. I didn't glue base and wheels together, so i can align wheels on place Just upgrade the look lightly. I got bonus with my order of rivets from Drafmodel - 2 sets of bolt heads, 0.8 and 1.2. They fitted perfectly on drive wheels. Errors: none

Thanks pals Last part on tank is smoke generator Assembled all together and connected to hull with simple black thread Next stage by the book and numbering is turret, but i decided to continue with bogies and tracks. Stay tuned! Errors: None
