You’re right there, that’s why I got another one! I miss it!

Thanks Eric!

Mantlet arrived!

Custom 3D resin printed, massive thank you to Patrick for adapting his E75 mantlet for me.

Fits perfectly and the resin print is amazing!

New test idler arrive too, bearings etc. Have ordered a set from Dave

glad you got them okay =) and they fit, always tricky trying to get things correct when one doesn't have the part to hand but I'm glad it worked out - now the big question, does the recoil still work?

looking forward to seeing his one finished - the krokodil is on my to do list in the future =)

I am waiting for DT’s trunion set before testing recoil etc

Some progress!

Took a big leap and removed the sponsons!
Also removed all tools and have filled and sanded the holes.

Aerial base and empty shell hatch removed to make space for the late tool layout.

Removed one front mud guard and drilled out the bolt holes.

Wheels arrived - spent a couple of hours last night assembling them.

Nice build. Where do you find the transport tracks?

Thanks Fred.

I found them on a King Tiger - kenny Kong originally.

Thank you for answer. I think it will be hard to find for my KT.
