Concetricity of the Drive wheels is a bit of a concern.. Used a few track links to ensure parallel and square to its axis.... The kit has individual spokes to bond between each half... I drilled out the spoke locations and replaced them with some 1mm styrene rod...

Gotta say this was a bit tedious... But they're together... Suspension rocker arms are made up 9 parts each which you need to pin together... Its a very delicate and fragile assembly holding the tank up...

Going to take a bit of time to keep the suspension, sprockets and idlers all aligned... There's no real.positive keying between hull and suspension rockers... In fact there's about 20 degrees of axial play when you plug them into the hull...

Hull coming together... Odd choice in the way hobbyboss opted to setup the upper most superstructure... All long edge mitres... Don't follow the instructions as you'll end up with gaps here and there...

Precision approach, Im loving it. Is that putty around the bogies to hull fitment? Just curious 🙂

Cheers Clair... Just for fitting to the hull... The connections between the running gear and hull are extremely loose... Not to mention the rocker arm assemblies have a tendency to be misaligned... Just mocking it up at the moment and see where I need to shore things up... Happy modelling...
