small improvements

Post by oz »

not many problems with this one, the only bits i added were the spare Ariel tube this is missing from the tank, and the engine deck hatch was scribed in as this is also missing, and the tank periscopes were made from a bit of plastic rod, i took out the driver and radio operators periscopes and replaced these as well for some reason the ones that came in the tank were glued in back to front............

Hi Staff

The Ariel tube?, is that the thing that picks up the signal?, if it is where did you get one.

Oldfellow, many tankers use a wound coil of wire inside the tank for the radio ariel. The ariel tube is the one used to present accurate detail on most tanks, but it to can be used for reception. Also this is an old post. cheers Sax
