Hi Septon,
Looking at some pics of the comet. Couldn't help noticing that the idler wheels look very much like PzIII road wheels.
Just thought I'd mention it as it might save you some work.
Looking good, keep the pics coming.
Cheers
John

It's really starting to look the part now.
Excellent news that it runs well, the comet was renowned for it's speed and mobility.
Brilliant
