Some stuff from Forgebear, might try and find better late wheels and idlers as these ones have no bearings. Can use them on the HOBBY BOSS tiger if i find some. Thats this build stalled again, gives me time to sort out the new gearbox.

- Better make up some bullet connectors , makes it easy to transfer between tanks if i buy base plates and shafts.

Fixed the rear plate tool positions, found another pic for aerial tube it gives a rough idea dimensions . Thats the lower hull sorted unless i find another fix

Track puller cable done, cant find a nice steel cable . Brass wire done with Brass black, not very good as i think the wire has a clear lacquer . Paint should help to sort it out after another ZIM touchup or chip some off as damage..

- The adjustable clamp, superglue a nut on the u clamp and its done.

- The fixed end

On a roll today, may as well horse on. Something i have not done before the little extras,jerry cans in a rack above the jack. Not much out in the way of photos of ww2 tanks and water/fuel cans german armour. Wish the Classy Hobby fuel drums and jerry cans were easy to find. .

- Resin is nice but too much work cleaning up.
