Re: The SdKfz 7 begins
A few hours spent sanding and cleaning suspension arm parts to get smooth rotation. Bit more to do before I give a final degrease / clean and then etch prime. Was going to leave shafts bare and coat with lithium grease as specified. Or should I etch prime them as well?

After few hours sanding, cleaning and degreasing ready for etch prime. Surprising how shiny they become. I imagine an unpainted built kit would look pretty impressive.

Re: The SdKfz 7 begins
Lubrication query. The current version of the SdKfz 7 kit recommends lithium grease for the suspension shafts. However, I have part used cans of ROCOL OxyLube and ROCOL Dry Moly Spray. Would these be better than the Lithium Grease?

Thank you very much for this explanation. I asked myself the same question about how to consider the 20° angle.Andy Walker wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2025 2:57 pmKian sent me this photo of angle to set on Idler assembly. Hopefully of use to other builders.
