Challenger 2 TES

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Thank you for your kind words and interest. This, of course, motivates me to continue to fill the build report with life. The upper hull is not bolted to the lower hull. This would make access more difficult for later technical interventions. The idea here is to use neodymium magnets. I chose ones with a diameter of 8 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. The mounts and spacers for the lower and upper hulls have been printed. At the current stage of construction, centering the mounting positions isn't a big problem. Here are the mounting points on the lower hull.

As things currently stand, the magnets are holding very well. I might add another pair to the rear.

I want the on/off switch and charging sockets to be accessible from the outside and top of the model. A good place for this is under the right storage compartment at the rear of the vehicle. The storage compartment has been removed from the model. Holders are glued to the upper hull and storage compartment with one magnet each.

The upper hull was then opened next to the magnet.

The mounting for the charging sockets was glued to the corresponding position on the upper track cover of the lower hull.
This is what it looks like with the upper hull in place.

The charging socket is now covered and camouflaged with the storage box.

The main switch was treated in the same way as the charging sockets.

To be continued.

Best regards
Peter
