Someone once told me don't look how far the end is, just look how far you've come. Wonderful job Igor.

I've been following your post since little bit after you started it. That's lots of patience and skill. Excellent job sir!

I have been following this project from beginning. Great perseverance and skill

Thanks again

I like to post process and finished details, so you can see the end assembling..
But road wheels take much time to assemble, so i decided to post some pictures before i finish.
As i stated before the key is conveyer assembling
Power structure finished

Outer stripes glued

Inner rings glued

Outer rings assembled and glued

And this is the step I'm working on now. You can see that it will take some more time

Stay tuned!

Great job on the wheels Igor.
Look on the bright side, unlike a Tiger tank, at least there are only 12 of them!

Wonderful work Igor, amazing build up so far!

Thanks Sthephen and Erik.

Finally! I finished road wheels.
I must admit, that i really don't like repeated assembling and especially with tiny parts. And the irony is that i build mostly armor vehicles

Last step was in process

And finished

Now i need only to put it on bogies and done.

good work Igor, thues spokes were a fiddle.

**Igor** · #**409** 05-16-2021, 07:00 AM

Thanks David

Wheels are attached to bogies.
Suspension is ready!

Now, find a difference

Frankly, I'm disappointed by the designer - how could he omit joining bolts between rubbing plate and suspension arm... Nah, just kidding!

The detailing is as always top notch! Almost like a real thing.

And after a long period with no visible progress, suddenly there is a huge change in a model.
It stands on it's feet!
Despite a complex suspension assembly, it attached to the body very easy and tank stands straight.

Remained to connect those already prepared links in a chain...
Stay tuned!

Great Igor!

I am sad that it is nearly finished! I have really looked forward to every bit of your build...
