I
got this Christmas along with the laser cut parts. I had an
overwhelming urge to start this over the Sherman. Only I received an
incomplete set of laser parts.for which I'm still waiting for the
missing parts these are some of the internal wheel formers and the
vertical parts of the main I beams.
But
I had to get the bug out of my system so I started on some parts that
were sort of stand-alone and didn't need any of the laser cut items.
Mainly the printing was okay but there is a page that is printed in mirror image and one page just slightly out of key.
I
started off making the drawbar part 12 mainly this when together well,
apart from part 12e which is the ring hitch this has a tapered white
triangle that goes in side the towbar frame this was too thick by the
thickness of the card to fit in the frame. Also the grey coloured strip
went round the edge of the ring was too short I got this in half and
inserted a piece in the middle. I also needed to add a bit more thinking
to parts 12f .
I
then moved on to make up part 11 which is the towbar pivot this allows
the towbar to turn the front bogey wheels as well as letting the towbar
pivot up and down. All the parts apart from 11e which was too short were
okay.
I also made a start on some of the fabricated metal parts.
slightly better picture of the towbar and its swivel and two metal parts some locking pins and the steering wheel rim.
