Looks fantastic.

Cheers Gerry….I just see the faults myself

I know what you mean - I'm seeing the faults on all of mine!

Neat idea Tim, and looking the part as well.

Cheers John. I thought just sticking them on wouldn’t be strong enough either…..

I've never heard mention of doing that before, definitely one to remember Tim .

[Lee Drennen]

Very convincing Tim. Those Cables really set that tank off.

I must admit that compared to the rest of the tank they seem overly complex and fragile John. Not like the usual utilitarian Russian stuff at all. No need for the screw tensioner, a simple storage hook would have done the same job.

Cheers Lee. It needed something to add interest to a simple green box on tracks :thumb2:

Or even an eye?

Tim,

That's turned out very nicely despite the paint problems and the tow cable idea was genius!!!

As John says, will have to remember that!

There is already an eye on the cable though? Perhaps a shackle arrangement like the towing points would have been better? Anyway, the screw tensioner is not a great solution to my mind….

Cheers Andrew, it’s just a simple solution to a simple problem that I thought might be of interest…

Glad that we see “eye to eye” over it Gerry….sorry, couldn’t resist

[Tim Marlow]

Well, she is done.










Enjoyable build. No real vices, but looks a bit dull when finished. I’m not a dio builder , but do wish I’d put a crew figure in her…..hope she passes muster :thumb2: Are we supposed to put finished images in a group build folder?
