This was stirred up by a mister Herman Bix during his quest for broken Asiatam elefant suspension pieces....
So after pulling her from my display in the office I decided to give her a proper freshening up starting with the dodgy asiatam metal suspension bits.
I've been lucky to have Tom forward me the stls for the wheel carriers so I printed a bunch, mailed a pair to Mr Bix in sunny? ( I hope) Australia with a pair of metal swing arms.
I wanted to upgrade the pot metal bits that were worn and bent or simply perished with the new 3D parts.
Of course while removing the wheels low and behold the swing arms simply snapped and fell apart on the desk.
I searched high and low and found the stls for the arms and started to print them.
So as long winded as this introduction has been I show my beginning progress.
A very sturdy tank to begin with for sure, only as strong as it's weakest link
The hull is fantastic, my plan to do a mechanical overhaul and preserve as much of the paint and finish as possible
