Jump in Tony  . Pete, cheers fella . Boots the sandbag armour apparently wasn't good for the Sherman suspension. The extra weight just caused loads of problems with it breaking  |

Boots you got it fella . Ian, not the US crews mucker, we Brits are just as bad  . Tony I built that kit many moons ago, she's a great build and even has a complete interior . Just sorted the cages out , nothing like a bit of miniature welding on a Sunday afternoon .  More soon chaps. |

Thanks Paul. I worked on it some last night but storms are moving in on me and I need to shut the box off pictures to follow when the storm passes.

There's a little break in the weather so before the next round starts here's the progress: Upper hull dry fit to make sure the fit is plumb and square with the bulkheads installed.
I don't care for this green plastic it soaks up the light making it hard to see where you are.
This is not a duel but bonding with brother Paul.  Tony lee

Okay I promised a quicky and here it is . Gotten the running gear on, the tracks are only dry fit. Shame about the AFV Club T62 tracks, they are too long for this so I'm going to have to use the kit ones, unless I find something else  . Oh yes I stole the Bootsmeister idea for wear and tear on the rubber road wheels. And using the Tamiya Limonene cement it doesn't smell as bad either: mho.freeforums.net/thread/1500/sherman-m4a3-nearly-primer  |
