Hi Brian,

Nice and steady progress, well done!
But why no bend on the locking bars?
No use of them unless the end is bent.
Sorry to be the one bringing this to your attention :oops:

Kind regards
Kent

No Worries Kent I have seen this mod and it is a good one!

I tried one time to make the bend and assemble it but I did not get it to work for my skills are just not fine enough alas I put them on flat.

I begin weathering the sprockets now I have finished the tracks. Buding and weathering are hard. The learning curve is steep and I make many small mistakes. I will hopefully end up with a cohesive overall weathering pattern but uncertainty and inexperience make me stressful.

ROADWHEELS: Brian's 2017 NO. 10 LATE TIGER 1 BUILD

Post by Brian Ostlind »

Thanks Glen!

7 of the inner wheel faces finished. Will I be more accurate if I paint camo on the wheels or not for the front sides? If it is going to be a tank from the 101st heavy tank battalion in Normandy July 1944.

I cannot decide

I am trying to find out if 221 would have camo on the wheels. I have not seen a picture that is clear enough. All the artworks have unpainted ROADWHEELS
