Hi all, just some pics to show my progress
The builded frontal hatch fixed definitively
Some false welding around but this zone will be covered from the zimmeritt
Starting to build the cupola but nothing has been fixed because i’m waiting the visors from Stannard
I’ve started the tracks but when they will be on it will be impossible painting the wheels………………….so here i’m
Build the tracks is very boring, but they have an excellent cast, to fixing the pins i’ve preferred the same way used on the KT. Gill & Mark provide the collars and Knupfer the metal pins
Here we are back to the tensioning system, Mark told me the head of the screw must stay inside the tank
This lead a two questions
1) with the screw totally inside the tank, the idler's arm is free to move forward, the idler's arm will keep a minimum of play. In this way every shot taken by the idler on the rear could move the arm forward. This could be a vantage because if the track is stopped for every reason, the motor doesn’t make to much effort because the idler could absorbe a little this efforts.
2) If I keep the system as modified by me, the head of the screw external and a nut inside, the wheel is blocked in the choosen position.
Any block of track, thinking this not too strange, for example when you make a turn, the internal track make more effort than the other . This effort must be won directly from the engine, but the track keeps its length without change it as in the first case as a result of the "forward and behind of the idler wheel "
What do you thinck about?????
P.S. Terrible english, hope you can understand
