Moni,

From looking at the instructions, and working from each side I would add the 3 inner wheels marked E3, then the 4 middle wheels E2+E4, and finally the 3 outer wheels E5.

hi Patrick, thank you for the help even on 1.72 ,I have always had trouble with the wheel, poking out to far and not hitting the track,

I love these demags and hanomags, I know you'll do a great job Monica

[Guest]

That looks good Moni. But I think you so go to bed and rest you have a severe form of modelling fever. Do you not stop at times ?

Great work Monica, very nice weathering and worn look to the parts you have assembled so far. Don't worry about the nodelling fever, there are far worse things to have and besides, someone has to produce completed models around here.

[monica]

hi Laurie, i get like that a times just have a real bug to get things done, so when i do i roll with it,

hi all well got some time to myself and made a little progress ,

gave it a bit off color high lite and some low,s that still need to be blended in o_O

added the chipping mostly were i wont it,pained inside the guards as i will not be able to once tracks are on

had to make up a jig to do the tracks so used a ruler and some bits of balsa 3x3 mm with a gape off 3mm which worked well ,see pic for how they had to go together

then lefted the tracks set over night and just used warm water to be able to bend them around o_O

so one side done and one to go, hopefully get some time over the weekend to get it done,
