Robert Stuart Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 In a discussion with @Badder, we've spotted that some Pz IV types had clamps holding their front spare tracks to the storage bracket. The first I noticed was on a Nashorn, but it appears on tanks also Ignore the Russian (T-34 ?) tracks, but between the third and fourth PzIV spare links you can see a clamp. This wasn't universal, see the image below - though tracks 3-4 seem normal when used. (I think I've seen an image with a clamp on the cental pair of tracks - but can't find it just now). Question: Have others noticed this?, and Is there a rule for when these clamps were used? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I had that looking bracket with my build a H kit, maybe different marks had different bars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take any credit for finding them Robert. You 'discovered' them all by yourself. From now on I will know them as Robert Stuart Clamps. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's been a few weeks since I finished my GB entry, but I just want to thank you all once again, for reigniting my interest in armor modeling. BM isnt really an armor place, but it can be thanks to guys like you. I'm eagerly awaiting the Patton GB and look forward to more afv builds in the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There things OTHER THAN AFV's on here? You must have clicked on some hidden link, or typed a secret combination of keys, or something. This is my third GB (and 2nd AFV STGB) and I've enjoyed all 3 immensely. The camaraderie is palpable, what with members supporting one another, offering advice and criticism, passing on their knowledge, and sometimes injecting whit where threads are threatening to become a bit too clinical! And obviously they are the best place to learn our art, what with all the different styles/techniques on display in the one place. Have a great time in the Patton GB. I will have to skip that one, I'm afraid, but I will be dropping in to have a look.

Badder Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) My Sherman from the M3/M4 STGB sits atop my bookcase awaiting its diorama. It seems like that GB only recently finished! Where has the last year gone? I MARVEL at how some of you guys can 'churn out' models so quickly, yet to such high standards. I could easily spend another 3 months getting my Nashorn to a state where I am really happy with it!

There was I thinking it was some actress or member of royalty, back in the 'olden days'. I do wonder if her stitches would hold if she went above 200ft nowadays. I'd hate to see her face pop!

andy wood Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Can any of you knowledgeable peeps tell me what the difference was between a a Stug IV Sd kfz 163 and a Stug IV Sd. Kfz167? Also the Tamiya kit comes with an MG42, but all photos of the real thing show an MG34. Is either acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
