GEAR BOX MODIFICATION

Post by Graham Ord »

The assembly instructions call for glueing in 3 bolts at the front of the tank holding the gearbox to the hull sides..
I have made an inside segment to bolt on with M4 screws in line with the hull sides and a special bolt with a reduced thread that screws into the hull side in the 3rd position where their was not enough material to drill and tap M4. It may not be as the real thing but it looks better.

That looks better Gram, I always thought there was something really wrong with that detail. :wink:
