Just a little more.



If you are careful with the glue the arms will be able to move, this will help with lining up the rest of the Suspension.

This is a complicated one, once again any Info. is on the Pics.
















I’ll be installing the end Ball steering things next.
But not today.
I built just one of the Simpler units just to show what you get with them . There’s no reason to do more as I won’t be using them.

Donald… I’m trying hard not to buy this and wait for the M113 from AHHQ and the Universal carrier from Gecko. But you are making it very difficult for me… such great detail and thanks for showing the different detail levels available with the simple optional suspension

Just some more boring stuff.








I’ll be working on the steering links next, if it all works out the steering should be posable. There does that get you excited ?

Looks like your off to a great start. I have this same kit. I’m not sure when I’ll start building it, but will enjoy watching you build yours. Any ideas how you want to paint it?

I have the Steering rods installed.
Here’s how I did it.







I think the most critical part is to put the rings G2 on the shafts G1 this will keep the joint flexable.

I just finished what there is of an interior, I did this just to see how it would go together for when they release the one with the Pak.40

I have some more done, The frame parts K15 & K19 L12 , L13 , L14, L15 need to be installed exactly for the Levoirs fit loosely in-between them . Too close and they bend , too far and they will not stay in place.


I joined the Hinge parts together then installed them.


If you get it right they can be moveable , I glued them in place.

I hope I got them angled the right way.

Finished for today.

It wasn’t that bad, if you all just follow the steps that I have showed you , you shouldn’t have much of a problem.
