Some test drive Friday and Saturday - lots of sun, perfect weather to run a test.

I tried to put two more links to the tracks, that was not a good idea, off again, each tracks consisting of 90 pairs of links. It drive well and without problems, grass is perhaps not the best to run a test.

Hi Allan,
Correct me if I am wrong. I think the 4 lift bolts on two exaust covers (shown in the 2nd photo) are a bit too low. :?

Regards,
Lerh Chang

Hello Chang

You're right, the picture I looked at was upside down, it must be positioned between the hole 1 and 2 - not 2 and 3. Thanks Chang - well looked. :oops:

One of the large antenna has been painted black, do not know if it is correct or whether it should have a different color - maybe green ??

Hi Allan

Nice work with the antennas, but I think you have turned the one antenna upside down

Take a look at the model tank here and look at the antennas

A new Jerry can holder is now turned to the turret - but unfortunately not the same as the left one. A camouflage net will cover the can holder later

The first drive this year, nice sunny weather. My old Kubelwagen was also out after having gathered dust on the shelf. I'm going to get it repainted this summer along with my King Tiger in camouflage color - got a new airbrusch, just waiting for warmer weather
