My first Armortek build
It's my first Armortek tank build. I think it is going well thus far. Started upper deck and waiting for the motion pack.

Great choice for first model. Its looking great. I like your stickers/decals for the numbers and nickname. Very cool.

Looking good. Tracks are back to front to all the photos I've found. I keep putting mine on the wrong way when trial fitting also.

Also when compared to photos of Fury, it looks like the bogies are on the wrong side of the hull. ![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)

They're right. They're reverse from side to side. The bogies should be the same but switch direction depending on side of hull.Mark Heaps wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 11:47 pmAlso when compared to photos of Fury, it looks like the bogies are on the wrong side of the hull.![]()

Re: My first Armortek build
I am nearly finished. I am waiting on parts from Armorpax and ECA. I will still add more stowage as I get it. Soon, I will be looking for Michael Wittman's Tiger somewhere in the forest.
I am still tweaking my left track. It comes off on occasion when it makes a right turn. Tension?

Re: My first Armortek build
From looking at the photos you have posted, I would suggest the tension is a touch too much, especially on the RIGHT hand track so it does not have enough "give" to absorb the turn.Fernando Kuehnel wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 5:55 pmI am still tweaking my left track.
