Louis I've been waiting to see this and I'm very impressed

So nice to see it functional and tested.

Hi,

Here is another short video. Other that the loose tracks that makes it mandatory to install an idler adjustable tensioner, there are no major issues. Mail is so slow...

Better electronics, sound, recoil and some gun fire would be a bonus of course.

Hi,

This week, I received a great gift from Mike (Sassgrunt), a set of Sherman spoked idler wheels to put on the M7. These are the very rare and impossible to find idlers that are coming with the 1/16 Forces of Valor M4A3 Sherman. I mean, someone has to cannibalize a very expensive static Sherman in order to get these. Thank you Mike, it's perfect and I feel very lucky.

Mr Sassgrunt strikes again.... For us tankers is like the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus has come and gone just like when we were kids.

He's a one of a kind person for sure and we are lucky to have him.

Your rear idlers are superb Mr Louis

Enter it in tank of the month for November? It will certainly garner its fair share of votes!

Hi,

I realized I never brought closure to this build before jumping to the next one. Also found some unseen pictures in my IPhone from last autumn that I am adding here with some others. Thank you to everyone that supported and encouraged me during the construction. It was in my views a complex and very successful build.

Best regards to all viewers,

Louis
