Thanks Don and Rick.

Well, after much colourful language and sore fingers I have most of the wheel parts cut out.

I have assembled a few and overall those have gone together pretty well. The triangular reinforcement pieces on the drive sprockets (#1) were not acute enough. A little trimming eliminated the gap where they meet the axle.

The diameter of the cone covers (#2) on the road wheels are about 1mm too large. More trimming required and only seven more of those to build.

There are also some idler/track tensioning wheels to build. They are pretty simple but you never know.

Looking ahead to attaching all the wheels to the tank so that they actually can support the weight will require some thought.

~Cheers
