Re: Super-Pershing
Frankie, what thickness did you use? Wanting to do my own.
How did you make the counter weight? KV-1 tracks? Do you have to ditch the headlights?
Sorry for the barrage, but I think you're are a pretty great source!

Re: Super-Pershing
Lol...right from the top...
I used 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm plasticard depending one where it went,
The counterweights made from plasticard..
I use KV1 tracks as it gives it a more ww2 look...they’re slightly too wide but close enough for me (yes there are correct tracks available, but they’re beyond my budget..)
I’ve seen the super-P done with the headlights mounted on the fender...haven’t made up my mind yet...

Re: Super-Pershing
Frank just the person. Not related to your Pershing as I have seen one of the others you did. My question is do you still have any of your build notes for Sherman rocket pods. Doesn’t matter which as I will attempt both eventually
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
Re: Super-Pershing
Lol...build notes?...what are they?....I just wing it 99% of the time..

Re: Super-Pershing
There something that many people here have apparently. But I know what you mean by winging it
