Evening all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I may find a set of the metal schurzen like the one's in the pic below ? The metal set was advertised with 'tankzone' but they no longer have it in stock, I know tank modellbau list a set but it's made from styrene, I'm not too bothered about the armoured plates being made of styrene but I would prefer the fixing brackets made from metal for a bit of extra toughness :D if anyone knows for some or maybe somebody who custom makes the brackets I would be glad to know :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee. Image

Hi Model Builder Why not try some brass strip and solder work. I could only find styrene track hangers for my KT, not interested in putting an order in for metal only to wait ages for them to appear. After a couple of mistakes while practicing it all worked out nicely.

Hi Ronnie, I've looked at the brass strip but can only find it as narrow as 6.35mm, I would like it a bit narrower, any links to a brass supplier ?

Cheers, Lee.

I used strip on my super p and it was much thinner than that,

I think it was from here

Found some brass strips to make the schurzen brackets thanks to Tom :D next question is does anyone know where I may find some decent pictures of the brackets themselves for me to follow :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
