Hm-mm, How do we keep the structure from bowing out between the wheels?
We could cross with the box like structure as seen in the last forum post above the roof. see (pic 2).
Well let's try the toothpick axles and see where that gets us.
I'll add two reinforcing tubes cut from 1" long by the width of the chassis.
Might be good if the holes for the axles are made too big. (pic 1).
Almost ready to close up the top. Looking closer to a Matador now.
Treads look funny though. My photo research shows different types of tread patterns anyways,
at least three styles in kits and from real surviving ones in photos. Over 7000 were made during WWII.
Also in the last picture you can see that the tread doesn't match the lines on the outer face.
Been having that trouble since joining the group and my first posting of my U.S. troop carrier then.
(Think I figured it out though, we'll see when the next test build goes up).
And a Freebie, Color Version 1.0 if anyone's interested.
I believe that I have this one scaled down to 1/144th
so you might have to scale up 2 times for 1/72.
If I'm wrong let me know and I'll re-post a new color one.
