Did they use single belts or would they have used a multi V belt ? Nice start

Nice work so far.I think,it does’nt matter if there’s not much left to see,you and who’s interestet in your building knows what’s inside and how much work you invested

Logicaly you would think they would use individual belts , that way if one was damaged the rest would keep working.

yes and no I suppose, if a single belt goes, although you have more single belts to keep it turning, they then receive extra load from the broken one … I only really asked as we used Multi V belts on Chieftain /Chally etc … they can still work fine when they have minor side splits and you lose one V section (However, their outputs are probably a lot higher than WW2 engines … just an observation )…

It is a shame so much of these engines is hidden once the builds complete … great work though

Thank you Donald for starting a new one. Always interesting and enjoyable. These are kits that I normally would never get to see.

True … Lucky Don @oldwarloke is doing the build … If I was doing it as a lazy builder (sometimes…) No one would ever see the engine lol

My problem is I tend to forget taking pictures.

Looks great!

Were the ammo racks fiddly to build and get aligned properly?

No as long as you have a bender

If it’s like the J late model the radio Racks are a pain even with a folder! ,I ended up cheating and wrapped and superglued them onto the radios without making them up first like the instructions say.


Here’s my radio rack from the J model it’l be posted here eventually
