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! :clap:

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. :clap:

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 :wave:

- 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.

:wave: All the best . B.

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