I have a strong feeling that the vendor swapped out the hull with someone that let it get too HOT. I called the vendor for a replacement and he said to contact the importer for a replacement because the kit was his last one. I sent the importer an e-mail with pictures but never heard a word from them. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush they say Today's Progress: Those pulleys will cause your hair to turn gray or fall out,frequent breaks are recommended if you're planning on keeping the glue only where it belongs. I haven't even started on the front end yet. A lot of time wasted just fillin knock out spots and sinks. It's cooled down in the 80s and rain is suppose to be headed this way. Later folks Tony lee

I remember the trouble this one gave you at the outset Tony, it's turning into a gem now though! Nice work on the spade and other details. The rain was here last night so thought we should speed it on the way to your neck of the woods post haste.

What's the best glue for white metal and how do you apply it?

"What's the best glue for white metal?" Fish I never had to use glue on them before this is my first time. I'm going to try Gator Grip on these and go from there. Stay tuned for the lab testing. Tony lee

A productive Saturday for sure there Tony! We had a flash flood warning at 2:30 am this morning, both cell phones went off simultaneously and felt like the world was coming to an end...so more rain headed your way!

¡Que feo! Looking at those warped hull pics dang near made me sea-sick. Warpage or not, you are cruising right along on this beast! Just my 2¢ on the tracks but, I'd use wire to hold them together as it looks as though they are already drilled out. It may be more work on the front end of things but, at least they won't come apart in your hands as you form them to the drive sprocket and idler. Whatever the course you chose, deal me in for this build. Dave

C.B. you'll need to tell me about this one? ? M43 had vertical ammo like this one. Exhaust has been moved from rear exit to front with exposed silencers/mufflers Red reflector on lower steps Short travel lock like M43 Sure looks like a 155 has replaced the 8inch howitzer barrel. ?? Great pictures no matter how you look at it Chris, Thanks Tony lee
