Hi,
I am just finishing construction of the subject gun (AFV Club kit), which I intended to show towed behind an M4 HST (of course). All in all, assembly of the kit went without major problems, until I attached the limber. At this point, the pair of the main carriage wheels closer to the limber refuses to contact the "ground". In real life, flexible suspension would make up for the difference in elevation of the trail ends in the firing and travel configuration. Unfortunately, the kit suspension is not flexible and it looks like the kit was designed to ensure the proper contact of all main carriage wheels in the firing configuration only.
I wonder if anyone had the same problem with this kit, or it is me missing something (the instructions show that the gun can be depicted in either firing or travel configuration without a change in the assembly sequence, except for attaching the spades vs. attaching the limber in the final stage). And if this is a real problem, is there a way to fix it. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, bob |
