It's my first Armortek tank build. I think it is going well thus far. Started upper deck and waiting for the motion pack.

Looking good. Tracks are back to front to all the photos I've found. I keep putting mine on the wrong way when trial fitting also.

Also when compared to photos of Fury, it looks like the bogies are on the wrong side of the hull. :?:

They're right. They're reverse from side to side. The bogies should be the same but switch direction depending on side of hull.

I am nearly finished. I am waiting on parts from Armorpax and ECA. I will still add more stowage as I get it. Soon, I will be looking for Michael Wittman's Tiger somewhere in the forest.

I am still tweaking my left track. It comes off on occasion when it makes a right turn. Tension?

From looking at the photos you have posted, I would suggest the tension is a touch too much, especially on the RIGHT hand track so it does not have enough "give" to absorb the turn.

Nice job! Very nice detail and weathering. Hope mine comes out as good.

I've taken my Sherman out to the park.
