Reynier, thank you for sharing the information on the RFM kit. Dreams of the Kubinka Sturmtiger are in the future.
Test Fitting
The wheels, sprockets & idlers still fit.
Track fit, dreading a possible Check UnderWare Light if the track guides won’t interface with the idler & road wheels.
Took few wiggles then a loud click but seems OK.
However, there’s a sprocket issue.
Track has 95 links and will need one additional link for a total of 96.
Very tight on the sprocket, the fit is unacceptable but hopefully fixable.
Plan A I think beveling sprocket teeth slightly on the front and a bit more aggressively on the back will address the issue.
Plan B Should Plan A fail, enlargement of the spots on the track where the guide teeth go, like some Dragon Panther’s require maybe needed.
Plan Z - “Nuclear Option”
aka (Go Floquil or go home)
Eyes Only - Classified Military Model Building Secret.
Rumored to involve airbrushing with a xylol based enamel & Liquid Cement to create “fusion” and make parts go together.
