Re: New project started in earnest.
It might be ready for septons scout hut meet, if its still on, im just not sure how long its going to take. Only one person on here knows what it is intended to be, and im not saying anything, at least untill the lower hull is done, so ill just keep you all guessing 
Got some more pics coming soon.

DOH!!!!! Well thats nackered that then. Yes, its a HA-GO, Type 95 japanese tank, well, as close as i can get it. Hopefully, when its finished, it will be a fair representation of a japanese tank.

Re: New project started in earnest.
Well, its been a while since I did any work on this, but the lower hull is starting to take shape.

- The rudimentry spring set up, though looking flimsey, works and will be fitted with a half tube shape cover.
-
- Suspension units made and fitted. They are constructed from Pzr III wheels, air tubing, thick, strip balsa and plastic sheet. The axels are made from the stainless steal posts that are used on HL gear box's. You can also see that the sides of the gear box's have been shaved right down to give me a lower profile.

Re: New project started in earnest.
Looking really good. Clever use of servo horns to hold the suspension units.

Re: New project started in earnest.
, That would have been a clever idea, Unfortunately I did'nt think of that at the time. The suspension units are all home made, apart from the wheels. the 'horns' being cut from an office door sign.
