Jeff I reckon that'll cover it for the start . Paul, Marco, Ian, Boots nice of thee to drop in fellas . Carl, don't be so worried fella , go get one . Boots you need to sort that track-o-phobia out mucker . Okay chaps, after about 3 hours of work I got one side tracked . The instructions say 82 links per side, this is 81 and that maybe one too many.  Will start on the other side tomorrow |

Further to the earlier query: it does look somewhat similar to both the Polish and Indonesian marques but there are some not so subtle differences. The Polish in particular: turret has a different arrangement of applique and more importantly, the hull is closer to a 2A7 hull than this ones 2A4 base. To my knowledge it remains a demonstrator for now. Got nice" Wotif's..." planned for both of mine.

Nicely tracked, PB. Just a thought here. If you are planning a base for this which you have hinted at showing the working suspension, you might want to leave that sag.

Chaps that is exactly why I be adding the full runs, and not only half runs . I haven't yet decided on the base layout . Anyway 82 links is defo too many, you need to build 80 together and use no.81 to join . |

Great work Mr. B! looks sharp with 81 shoes. I think if you use 80 you probably can't close it.

Marco many thanks bro , but I have buggered this through stupidity . I got home from work and counted the links on the finished track again  Guess what? There'll be 84 links with the closing link  . The kit gives you a jig, the jig makes 5 links, so I glued away and forgot about the closing links for each 5 link sections  , which when you have 14 sections equals 70 links. Plus the 14 connecting links gives you......... too ferkin many . There's still enough links left to sort the problem, but it looks like 83 all toll should be the correct number  .   I gotta get down the tank park and do some track bashing again , thank gawd I didn't make that mistake 34 years ago on my Chieftain |
