Re: Easy Eight No22
The Pershing tank has the same play on the gun barrel, I'll have to do a similar mod. Thanks for posting!

Re: Easy Eight No22
Been following this build with great interest, such well thought out detail and clever solutions,
I've almost finished my Sherman, like to know where you got your antennas from?

Re: Easy Eight No22
Thanks for the comments Nick and Antony. In answer to your question about the antennas, they are very much a prototype at the moment. I found a drawing on the internet that showed all the height and diameter measurements, in inches, of the real thing. So I scaled it down, did some drawings and had the parts made. I shall get back to these as time allows. I really need to find some 2mm slotted head screws to replace the grub screws, the coaxial clamps need adding, and ideally I would like a slightly stronger spring. I can't find one with a suitable diameter. I shall add a few photos with a few questions if you or anyone else can help out with.

Re: Easy Eight No22
If I remember there was some chat on here about the little return rollers but I can't remember the context. Anyway I decided to add another bearing to them. Perfectly fine as was but made me happier.

Re: Easy Eight No22
I didn't want to see the m5 csk screw showing on the front sprocket caps so an additional, disc was made.

After lots of distractions recently a little progress on the front mudguards. I showed you one of the new front mudguard sections earlier on and that was where I left it some time ago. So first job make the other front section.

Re: Easy Eight No22
Thank you for the comment Dale. A little update on the side supports. These are a little tricky but slowly getting there.
