Well, finally have some progress to show... It really hits me how slow I am when I look at the dates of the posts and the amount of progress! Oh well... slow but sure wins the race!

Some pictures of the rear wheel:

and the road wheels mounted:

And work has begun on the front sprocket (and a chance to show off my fancy Japanese punch and results! :D):

That's all for now... Time to start the other side's wheels.... Plus I have started work on the turrent. Perhaps something to show soon!

Great job on the drive sprocket - sounds like you're pretty happy with the Japanese punch.

It's a bit startling how many variants of suspension and sprockets there were in the M3/M4 - http://www.o5m6.de/vvss.html - for some of them.

Regards,

Charlie

Another update. Finished the drive sprocket for the first side:

Mk 3 Grant from GreMir-p1010808.jpgMk 3 Grant from GreMir-p1010809.jpg

Having put the fender on this side may come back to haunt me when I get to the tracks... Not sure why I did that....

Next, some progress on the turrent and gun:

Mk 3 Grant from GreMir-p1010802.jpgMk 3 Grant from GreMir-p1010806.jpgMk 3 Grant from GreMir-p1010807.jpg

The bottom ring around the turrent and a test fit:

That's it for tonight!

I don't think it will provided you don't join the track into a loop and try to get it on. The easy way would seem to be to feed the track around the idlers and join the ends on the model.
