Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
Staggering achievement Mr Ecam, and in such a short time.
I'd say that an engineers or recovery tank has a lot more going on than a gun tank by far !
Love to see you do a Bergepanther

After the one you put together mine would look like a toy!
Thanks Ad Lav and Bix.
Made a new hook mount, a bit more work but worth it!

These are about as finished as they are going to get save some paint. The pulleys have a squeak as they turn.

My guess is the squeak isn't an accident. Ya prolly engineered that in too as added sound effects...

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
No it wasn't engineered in, but styrene on brass will squeak.
Here's the start to the chock blocks. I don't have a clear picture of what they look like so this is my guesstimate.

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
Those chocks may be the same as used on WWII aircraft. They look to be designed to be pulled away by a rope or cable, as would be necessary to stay well clear of propellers.

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
Looking at the way they are employed and the location of them stowed, crew handling would have to be a major consideration.
Craning them out of stowage & then levering them with a bar into place in front of the tracks, then reversing off them & craning back into stowage would be the likely scenario, but not very convenient.
Any SOP of how they were used Mr Ecam ?

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
None, but perhaps Mike will chime in. He has the book I have yet to order that covers the M31 (based on the Lee/Grant) and the M32s. I'll bet it talks about the chocks. Even the size of these pulleys would make them hard to handle.
This was the best picture I could come up with.

That’s it. I giving up. I’m pleased when I solder two wires together. And then you, Imcq11 come along.
A beautiful model.
