Hi, what is this piece? I can not locate a reference in the manual!

Thanks in advance.

That's a part of the Armorpax jack.

Ok! Thank you Vince.

I am painting the exhaust pipes and testing new modeling clay for the zim.

Looks great!

I mounted all of my parts before applying zimmerit. If I had to do it again, I would NOT apply zim to the turret area where you hang the extra track links.

I sent you a couple of emails with videos attached of the tank in the snow. Once I aligned the tracks and tightened them, it works great in the snow, even on a side slope. I was still careful to not pick up any gravel or other debris that might block the running gear.

Cheers... Tom

Nice!

Not bad for a two year old...

[Vince Cutajar]

That's looking good. What's the name of the product you are using?

Your son does a better job than me!

I considered using tile adhesive but I happened to have some automotive body putty (Bondo or NAPA body filler) laying around, so I used it. With the amount of hardener I mixed with the base, I had about 20 minutes to work with it before it became unworkable.

So, I applied about a 4 x 6 inch square area at a time. The thickness varies from about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

How long does it take for the tile adhesive to set up? Is it a water based product (easy to clean up) or other?

[Brian Ostlind]

Yes it is water based and takes a couple hours to dry. I wiped it off after the first attempt with a wet rag and re did it.
