The 20 pdr drawing has been trashed. Not fit for purpose.

Thanks Michael for the shell casing dimensions of the 105. That helps a lot. When I have time I will try to draw again the 105 warheads from Stephen's diagram but not promising anything as it is a bit grainy and some details are not visible.

It's done, the deflector is finished but for a little rubbing down, now on to the rear tow hitch.

What was the purpose of the deflector. Was it intake air for the engine?

Stephen White · Post by **Stephen White** » Fri Apr 22, 2022 10:29 pm

To reduce the dust signature behind the tank moving at speed. Deflects from the ground the cooling air drawn through the rads which exhausted from the grills above it. Wasn’t very successful.

Might the deflector make a difference when sitting static and running the engine - prepared to move, but waiting? (I assume the aux gen would be used if static and maintaining charge in the batteries).

The rear towing point today.

Very nice detailing.

To match the superb accuracy of other parts of the build, the bolts securing the towing pintle should be reversed so the nut & bolt thread are behind the spring.

Nothing like getting priorities right and bit of free advertising

Thank you John lol. Thankyou for the advice Michael, I thought I better ad the rivets to the leaf springs and the end stop brackets to.
I think that's all done down there so she's back horizontal with the tracks on.
