Since work has come to a standstill... I have to say Painless.. that's the funniest picture ever

ALPHA

Good Morning, Alpha,
I could pull everything out of the hull, electronics - wise but I kinda want to wait til the new board and set show up. Tonight, I'll concentrate on completing the cut out of the grills and getting that area ready for the new ones in metal. *chuckles* I saved that button up in the photo because I may end up using it again to remount the turret rotator gearbox.

Painless

P.S. whenever a build is slow because of waiting for parts, etc, it helps a lot for me to keep the enthusiasm going by doing other odd jobs for the tanks in the motorpool. A win all the way round'. ;o)

The funny part about that screw is.. the solitude of it lol...but yes ... I do understand waiting for parts...I can't wait to see what you do to this SHERMAN...especially the electrical... something I still have to learn much about

"especially the electrical... something I still have to learn much about " You and me both. I know my T-34 needs better sound and controls and TX but I quail at the thought of something electrical that isn't a straight plug swap. This Sherman should be straight across with the only weirdity being wiring up the spotlight to the front lights. Phil did a video of his and it was so bright he said he was going to add a resistor. If I have to do the same, I have no idea what size or type or where it would go in the wiring. He added that same warning about the tail light on the KV-2 over in his T-34 thread I noted. I hope someone steps up with some explanations of it all.

For both Painless and Canned...just an idea you all might want to try



Especially someone is going to have a very SHERMAN Christmas .............

Hello Painless... yeah I read that... I didn't even know the Rx18 had a plug in for a tail light...The KV headlight is freaking bright...after she's painted I think I'm going to back it with a reflector
If there is anything that can be said about these tanks... they never stop offering challenges once you start diving into them... when I did my KV... thought a few solder points here and there... easy maybe an hour...Had to redo the whole layout ...took so many hours I lost count.... reason I sit and read in awe when I see some of the arrangements people come up with.... Like Phil's T34...not an inch to spare...

simply awesome

That is good news on that tail light spot on the X18. Thanks for that tidbit.

It is a bit chilly, too cold to enjoy my snowmobiles in fact. But good for sitting by fire and ruining plastic.

...Though I don't think you're ruining any plastic... your tank looks great
