Get 2 of the HB kit, and cut'n'shut a front door into a rear one?
Failong that you could use a set of side panels to make doors.

Well that says it all about kit manufacturer research.........
But all is not lost. Don't forget that tyres wore down in use. Those dimensions are new. So you have some leeway on the overall diameter for worn tyres. But if that worn they would probably have lost a few chunks too. Amusing may have measured worn tyres.
thanks for the encouraging words!
Will continue on the 'real' wheel and make a second version with adjustments to make it suitable for 3D printing, good practice with Fusion.

sometimes it helps drawing stuff to visualize.....
left is the 'real' wheel, right the kit wheel.
If I'd only have to make subtractive changes, I'd have gone ahead, but this needs addition of material in the tire, the rim and the hart......too much work.
I may just reprofile the tire a bit and add the grooves. @Das Abteilung

rough wheels finished, now need to find out how to compare....
afaik the 'real' wheel
the kit wheel

There are rubbing powders, think rub'n'buff.
I'm guessing that if they are as fine as graphite, they might just leave enough 'gold' to show up/through.

Will draw the kit wheels and hopefully the real wheels in 3D, might take a while as I'm literally 'inventing the wheel'....

While we're on the wild cards... I'd really love to see a Gordon Murray T.50 from Tamiya. It's the kind of thing that might just catch the attention of an influential Tamiya product dude. Given how many F1's ended up in Japan I suspect it's on the radar there with rich petrolheads... Plus doing that engine properly is in FXX-K territory...
best,
M.
That must be why they did the F1.......😉

does anybody have pics of the two types of Centurion bogie (bogey?) broken down to their constituent parts?
The Amusing kits have the suspension strengthened because of the functionality and it makes them look massive.
I have a few of the Bovington 'open' tank.

Of, bit of conflation going on...
The tank is from Thun being restored in Full.

Same thing was found on the KT being restored in Thun

As I'm a dedicated 'enamel' user it looks like AK Interactive is the way to go so just a few quick supplementary questions if I may please.
- What is the best/correct colour primer to be used?
- What is the best/correct varnish to apply pre and post decaling? (I normally use enamel varnishes)
- How sensitive is the paint to handling both pre and post varnishing? (I normally use non-latex surgical gloves during the painting process)
Sorry if this all a bit basic but the last time I used silver paint was Humbrol with a brush when I was 12 years old and the results were not great, especially when it came to trying to apply another non-metallic paint along side or over it - it just became a sparkly indistinct smudge!
Regards
Colin.
Humbrol 11, te paint that NEVER dries......

I've not looked through these, but you might find what you're looking for in amongst these sets of photos.

John.
thanks, gone through most of them.
had another more patient look, actually found one that shows the underside of the arm.....was it hollow?

Would anybody happen to have closeups of the arm for the return roller, without the roller mounted?
Amusing seem to have simplified it (because of the skirts?) and since I'm running it without them I'd like to add more detail.

What nationality are you modelling?
Oops, never mentioned that...
It's actually a Amusing Hobby Sho't Kal Yom Kippur war.

Apparently everything under the skirts got clogged up with mud from the october rains.
I have seen pics with the supports still in place, with mangled twisted supports, or no supports at all.
Options, options, options.....

Good job man!
Working on the same kit atm.
You might want to rethink the 'hot arid desert' part.
Most of the pics show cold and miserable tankers and quite some mud on the tanks.

Are there any about in .PDF format?
Looking maintenance stuff mostly.

another question,
As I'm building mine without the skirts, (or some of them at least, not made my mind up yet) and the period pics show the mounting beams were sometimes removed.
I was wondering if the welded on mounting plates would have the bolt holes 'bolted', or left empty?
any tankies know what 'best practice' would be?

Yes from the Trumpeter tooling, Heller already released the trumpeter stug III in their own box https://www.scalemates.com/kits/heller-30320-stug-iii-ausfg--1380160
thought it was quite uncharacteristic of Heller, do they still actually make their own stuff?

Try rubbing it with the side of a needle, or something like a metal ball on a stick.
This will quickly create a chrome like finish.
Any good gloss clearcoat will protect and enhance that shine.
For that little extra use a clear metal primer before clearcoating (automotive, Tamiya)
