First class!

Those road wheels will certainly spruce things up a lot and save time also- having to mount those cast versions on an indexing head to mill out all those slots was, *ahem*, a fair amount of work...

Outstanding execution..

Some final renders of the Sd Kfz7 out of solidworks.

Production has been in full swing for a few weeks and over the next weeks and as we start bending up some of the sheet metal we will also start posting pictures of the sub assemblies being constructed.

In addition to all that - the front, middle and rear seats are now hinged so that they all open to reveal storage space. It is likely that we will put the speed controllers under the front seats, but that is not finalised yet.

A few images to round off the week - these show the windscreen. The drivers side is broken into two parts and the top part can be swivelled.
The bolts on the top are just standard M3 for now - we will manufacture some custom fasteners.
