After the stinking total failure of the Launch Frames..... I thought I'd start anew with the lower chassis and running gear mount shafts...

No that one bench isn't longer than the other it's just an OPTICAL ILLUSION............ Really

So, I have been vacillating on whether i post too much, or don't post enough.....
Regardless here is a little update on the SzF torsion bars. They are gonna be a slow process, BUT......................

Looking good PJ. You might want to check the tensioner assembly. IIRC it is similar to the Pz III tensioner assy.

Not trying to be insulting, but the side with the "kickup" is the rear?

Dave, Wing.... Thanks for the kind posts
I have to go back to Joel"s question...... And really this is for all of us..... DON'T Believe the hype/BS the model companies try to push off as being "accurate".... do research beyond Wikipedia.... The are great BUT................
CASE IN POINT.... Joel this should put to bed the quest of the "step/taber... As well as the smooth bottom you see on Sdkfz's.
Joel, THANKS for the question.... You and my buddy Steve keep me honest
