M103a2 Sunday 15 turret look like a ..turret

Post by mcevoyi »

[*]Hi all

Been a while ...so here I go again ...been planning tish for far too long and colectiong parts
I manage to collet 4 hl pershings s along the way ..but I need to rob parts from one to another to make this chassis

I been looking at this for some time ..and could not really work out how I was going to do this but ..I can't sit round any more looking at chassis so I finally grabbed my razor saw and started cutting ..

One quick note abut the idler and road wheels suspension arms ,,I managed to replace the standard he plastic ones with metal ...any one that has a pershing ..I would now say it's a must do the difference in strength is noticeable big time ...when I can I will find the funds to replace am the suspension and road wheels for metal ....

So .M103A2... or near as dam it ....

Good afternoon,
Could have sworn I commented earlier but it is missing. Anyway, Following along on the build. I hear you on the metal idlers and suspension arms and road wheels up front. They really contribute to the track stability.
regards,
Painless

I'm not really a genius, it's the only US post war tank with that wheel configuration. :|

Hopefully see you Sunday, if you have the time pop over to our epic display, cough cough, it would be good to chat.
