Hi All,

Yet more trail details and the first batch of rivets added.

Best regards

Hi All,

Last of the detail for the right trail. A lot of it will be duplicated for the left trail although I need to make different brackets for the cleaning rods on the left and a small plate detail that goes on top of the left trail behind the gun travel lock.

Best regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

This is fantastic the amount of detailed upgraded parts your creating for the PaK 43.

Canny keep up with you haha…..but hey who's complaining, keep those superb upgrades coming along……
the more the merrier…...

Hi All,

Trying to figure out the suspension and brake arrangement from photos has been a bit of a challenge. I think I have my head round most of it now. In addition every time I look at the pics I find something else, going to have to draw the line soon or there will be nothing left for Ian!

Not a lot of parts to show today. I have been moulding a lot of the trail detail to get a prototype set of parts before I send another batch of bits off to the metal casters.

Best regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

I think you got me beat there, it looks impossible at the moment to find any areas untouched by you.
Which please me, saves me trying to upgrade any parts you might have missed out!

Anyway I'm happy to stick to my Kompact 25 PDR gun, there is still a few parts I can upgrade on it so far!

But do carry on Dave, I'm enjoying your full coverage on the PaK 43.
Looking forward to seeing your full set on above and putting me down on your list.

And of course you have got Armortek latest release the 17 pdr anti-tank gun to upgrade parts on it too!.
So hopefully a few busy months/years ahead to keep you happy too!

But my eyes are on the Morris C8 when Mark launches it soon!

Cheers Ian

Hi All,

Getting there. Some of these parts will be in metal like the handles on the spade, toolbox catches, side hoop and grab handles but it gives you an idea of how its going to look.

Best regards

Hello Dave,

your work on the Pak and the parts you´ve made for it, looks so awesome!

I found a "walk arround" in the net to the Pak 43/41.
there i could see how many details are not on this Kompact kit. And then i think: Sh...
how could i make this all on my Pak.

So thank you very much for your great job. I couldn´t await to buy one of your kit´s for my Pak!

Could you make some castellated nut set for the Pak? There so many of them on this Pak.

Really great work!

Kind regards Timo

Hi Timo,

I have a feeling Steve Winstone is going to be doing the castellated nuts from speaking to him at Tank Mod.

Brake assemblies are well underway as the kit continues to grow!

Best regards

Dave

My compliments, Dave: a truly spectacular job!

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

Hi All,

Last few bits of the brake drum assembly and I've started on the brake handle.

Best regards

Dave

I can not help but to renew my congratulations: Beautiful detail work! ... It seems almost a shame to cover it!

[Timo Winterlich]

Hello Dave,
thanks for this tip. I wil ask Steve, about this nuts.
Nice new parts! Look's great!

Best regards
Timo

Hi All,

Started on the Notek box for the lower shield and also cut a new lower plate to get more detail on it. I think I may do this as a flat cast template so if you want to add the shovel straps etc. you can cut a new metal plate.

Best regards

Dave

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

Hi All,

Almost there with the masters. Brake ratchet and brake connectors to do and the pole brackets for the other trail and that's it.

Final parts tomorrow hopefully then the wait for some of the plastic to become metal..............

Best regards

Dave
