I have dry assembled the 6 bogey assemblies for the M7 and after a small amount of polishing on the castings and radius arms have nice free movement. At the moment I have only fitted the volute springs.
My questions are:
Will I need the extra coil springs as there is no metal upper deck or turret so I would assume a considerable weight saving over the full Sherman. IF I do are they fitted right down into the tight end of the volute spring and if so how do you get them in

Did the Sherman kit include slide pads or have people made their own, They don't appear on the parts list or in the instructions but did on one of the drawings. Or if they did I missed it and will go and stand in the naughty corner.
What adhesive do people recommend for the road wheel tyres.
On the sprocket hub cap some of you have fitted studs and nuts instead of the M3 Hex heads, these look smaller than M3, can someone advise on what you have used.
Sorry for all the questions but itching to get the thing on its tracks.
Cheers
Dave
