Hi John, no jig I measured each one and centre popped by hand.

Hi Phil
I meant the infill piece used to correct the rear hull plate angle.

Hi John, no jig I measured each one and centre popped by hand.

And I was going to ask to borrow your Jig

I've been working on the motor dimensions but that's another story and a few other bits see below. The measurements are shown in 1/35 and 1/6 but some poetic license can be used, it's down to the individual to make it look right, please be aware that a small section of the kit rear belly plate angle remains using this method.

The new high quality road wheel lock nuts are just the ticket.

[Greg Clement]

Phil, are you able to let us know where you buy your nylocks and bolts etc? Greg

[Phil Woollard]

Hi Greg, Ebay, just type in the size and look for good quality.

I've been wanking on the motor dimensions but that's another story and a few other bits see below. The measurements are shown in 1/35 and 1/6 but some poetic license can be used, it's down to the individual to make it look right, please be aware that a small section of the kit rear belly plate angle remains using this method.

Phil, you might want to spell check that last post and EDIT. Other than that great work on this posting.

No disclaimers allowed and it's artistic licence

Otherwise it would be
"There was a Model tank builder called Phil who always loved the filling the bill...."

"But late in the night, he was given a fright when his fingers got caught in the mill.....er.

[Phil Woollard]

Don't you just love predictive text lol! I have checked it and it says " working" not "wanking" with no edits logged in the original post, God knows where that post came from I'm going to leave it as it's funny!

Thank you John! Are you going to perform the belly plate mod?

[Phil Woollard]

Back to reality, yesterdays work. There's still more detail to be added to the lower hull, the side hatch is interesting. Please note, turning pieces obviously requires a machine tool and a little knowledge, you can also make such parts using large washers, hardware stores have all kinds of goodies.

[John Clarke]

Looking good Plil, I'll be trying to do the best I can with what I have. Which is not a lot.
I think you've proved there's a lot you can add to the model and you've not really got the wheels on yet. Hoping mine goes together as well as yours.
By the way I was trying to rhyme with Sherman Tank but you beat me to it
