Chapter 6 - Hull and Suspension Step 1
Now I consider the "major surgery" to the turret is done. the only remaining work is to add the AA replacment parts (quite a number of them, I tell you), which is more or less straight forward. So I moved on the the correction needed for the hull. First thing is correction to AA parts(well, everyone makes mistakes) 1. The AA replacement sprokets are of wrong width. So I use a piece of the replacement track as a guide, sandwiched a lump of epoxy between the 2 halves of the sproket. After the epoxy is completely cured, I sanded it smooth, shown in the photo here. 2. One side of the AA replacement track is moulded onto the plug. The details on this side is deformed. You can see the comparison here. My idea is to attach the "good side" outward, and as I wouldn't need the whole length of the track (the add-on armour will cover most of the upper run of the track), and AA provides more than enough length, I cut some connectors off the "good side" from spare track lengths, and replace those on the "bad side". I didn't replaced all of them, just where the track is not touching the ground. |
