UPDATE '' Achillies heel '' TURRET ! UPDATE

Post by mcevoyi »

Hi all

been at it again over the last 24 hours ... actualy had some quality tank time ...

been pottering the the m-10 achillies ... the turret i think would have been the hardest part to construct but when i actualy sat daown and looked at my drawings and pics .. and books and several reference kits .. i thought sod it ..and the knife was put to plastic

there re one or two aera's that i am not too happy with at the moment .. but will digest what i have done and have perhaps another go .. i am other wise fairly happy with the rusult so far ... i have used the HL turret ring ... but at some point i will enlarge to the tam sherman turret ring ... but i am not to sure of the difference in size . or weather its worth doing ....

the turret floor will present a bit of a challange ... it going to be a lot higher than the real floor .. just by the fact the mato sherman hull has a lot of room taken up with gubbins ... so i can have .. very short legged crew.... or a lot od crew sat around ?
any way ...
