Thanks Vincent,
Philipp deserves the praise, at least he is watching what is happening
Been distracted somewhat recently with Anna, but she is on the mend after her operation.
The fix
It was easy enough as I am using Tamiya extra thin cement on this build, the first time in ages
Reason is my thick super glue has started to string, so until the new one arrives, I went old school.
The teeth on the drive sprockets do not line up
Quickest fix is to cut off the inner teeth and glue back into the tracks
Filled the gap behind the turret, for the turret tab,
Is it an Alan problem, and could also be the turret is too far forward
As this is a "quick" build we will go with what we have!
The next issue to address will be the tracks and running gear?
Nothing really lines up, at all
So I shall try a Rob Matthews fix, by gluing the running gear to the tracks as a single piece, 1:72 scale so to speak,
at least it will all line up, and Rob did a really good job on the build he tried it on.
Some masking will help, then it becomes a paint and masking exercise.
More soon?
Thanks for popping by
