Surgical precision blimp, I'm a huge fan of it. It's great seeing all the unique details on the early model coming to life!

It is surprising how much the early models changed.

Hello,

I like to look at this report,unfortunately the early T34 is not often built.Not to mention build reports.

You build many parts yourself,it is a pleasure to watch you.

I can understand everything very well,but I wonder how you put these wheels from Trumpeter on the HL hull,can you please show us.

with kind regards,Guido

Hello Guido

- Not HL Guido , the hull is Taigen , with steel gears . . .

2x 9x3x3mm Bearings , a washer , axle (from my spares box) wrapped with a paper strip - this takes out the slack around the bearings .

- a tube spacer is also needed to align the wheels and stop them rubbing against the swingarms. ( Not shown)

* If 7x3x3 Bearings are used , the outer packing can be 1mm thick plasticard.

All the best . B.

Looks to be a very similar method to how I adapted the Trumpeter wheels to my builds.

(The headlights are going to be left black , as they appear to have been simply taken from existing motor pool stock.)

- Yay , progress !
