Did some work this weekend...
1. I had to drill down the inner roadwheels, because the chain teeth are a little too thick...

Hi all,
today I did something an the upper hull top roof.
I'll fix it with neo dyn magnets (5mm x 2mm). I pressed the magnets into the 3mm hull plate, where the metal holders for the cover is. Than I glue ftom the top side with 2k alu metal glue. I need 24 magnets. It fix it perfectly and strong enouth.
Forther I did some model M3 screws for scale look.
Also optimized the wellding on the track wheels.
