Yeah well, all I can say is that denying history doesn't change it.

Ahh the loooove
!
I took the saw to the poor HL upper and made a heap of mess but now at least the thing is actually starting to look like a Jagdpanzer 4.
The gearbox setting is important to the right look but I need the hull plates in position so I can ensure maximum height with no need to remove material from them.

In the light of the recent discussion of the Milwaukee Sawzall and smaller reciprocating saws, what did you use to moidelate that upper hull? That looks like a lot of tricky sawing.

Well, that has certainly been Bixerated. I look forward to the completion.

Bixerated
That’s an interesting analogy
Just going thru the motions of preparing the hull for the Casemate to be secured.
It will need a lot of retaining compound!

Hit a snag.
The gearboxes I have will not allow the hull to sit down where it needs to.
I will need to get some sort of low profile set like Mato ones, but that can’t happen for a while now.
Into storage it goes

Only as I ramped the gearbox mounting area to raise the sprocket height.
