 This should make a good warm up project. It's about the same size as a StuG with a good bit of details to boot. I'll dig in tomorrow Tony lee |

Great start, Tony The kit looks nice, too. How much of those interiors will be visible when you will close the hull? |

Great to see you back Tony, and what a great warm up model too. Does this one have a full interior, and motor ?? If so then I HAVE to have one. Got a couple of pics of this baby wrecked.

Howdy All
Bullardino: How much can you see of the interior? I don't know yet but the hatches up front will be open for inspection.
Marty: Break reminds me of the Italian guns.
Those holes by the way are open all the way through but are at a slight angle so I ran a drill bit through them and they look better.
Rob: Interior= What you see is what you get. I couldn't find not one shot of the interior anywhere. The Russians have the only remaining example and I guess the interior is off limits to cameras.
Stayed tuned
Thanks for the interest folks
Tony

Now this makes for easy wheel clean up  Goodies to be used and a plan of attack determined  The top half uses a capture system for articulation so don't get glue on those four small studs.  Those oval sockets are for the spring pivots and a rod will be pushed through that small hole. Once together it looks like this  A small bar ties the bottom end together  That bar has two small mounting studs, the end with the stud right on the end glues to part C23 the rear half of the saddle.  EASY on the glue so you don't get it in the pivot point. Now you can push the rod (C31)in flush and spot glue both ends  I glued the two spring together at the spring clamps and slide it in place just for the effect, i'll take it back out for painting.  There are more small parts to install but i'll do that when the other three trucks are assembled. Thanks for havin a look see Tony |

Now that's what I call an intricate suspension. Looking good Tony, will pay off in the end when it comes to the detailing and track management I'm sure.
