Re: Challenger 2. Operation Telic.
Annnnd I broke it.
So much for my confidence and optimism. Forgot that the rear wheel station next to the sprocket was loose. This caused it to de-track, ripping off an already weak bit out. I had neglected the repair to the wheel station, to concentrate on the Tiger. I will have to whip out the gear boxes, and upgrade the fixings.

24h After it all went wrong. The beast is repaired. And the rear wheel station has been upgraded, with 3mm bolts, in place of the original 2mm bolts. The sussuspension has also been smoothed out with gentle filing. The front was repaired by glueing on the damaged part. This was then reinforced with my favourite glue, by filling all the voids with said glue. Over the next week small aluminium fillets will be made, and installed. These will virtually invisible when painted over as they are hidden underthe front armour.
