I have the AFV Club LVT-4 Late. I am marrying it up with a AFV Club Bofors and, together with some Scratch Building, I am doing this for the “African Nations Campaign”
I’ll give you a tip - make a jig to help put these together or you will go spare. I just made this one after a bit of trial and error:
The rod segments just make sure all the scalloped links are assembled facing the same way…
I put one pronged section in, then use a small alligator clip to hold that in, whilst I get the opposite one in. Then I insert the retaining clip over the one I just put in, remove the clip and then push the plate into place. They have small holes and pins to hold the plate in place, so you it wont fall out before you glue it down.
Oh. Make sure all the pin holes are clean of flash. Some have a whisker of flash that needs to be removed. A size 73 or 74 drill bit is what you need.
