Re:Terry's Project "TANKS ALOT"UPDATE 5-19-10"
Well boy's and girl's it was a busy weekend! It was a rainy weekend so I had alot time on my hands so I worked on my braille project. The focus was on the tank side of things. Construction is done and most of the painting. There was alot of little bits of wire and photoetch flying around, but I think in the end another Sherman was born even if it is tiny. So if everyone is ready lets work our way through my past weekend.

First stop on our little trip will be painting the supension.
With the supension painted work moved to the upper hull where grab handles were added.
Next I added all the front hull hardware.
Next added details to the hull hatches.
Next stop added details to the rear hull some scatch some PE.
Another look at the front hull.
After details were added and assembly finished I painted the lower hull.
Oh I forgot I added chains to the gas caps.
Next came the turret.
Finally painted the turret and added it to the lower hull did some more painting and weathering.
It's not done, but it is close enough to be finished by the end of the month if everything else falls through. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Not bad at all! I keep reminding myself this is Braille Scale.
FYI, I recall seeing in the TMs that the handles on the engine hatches dropped in and had to be pulled out for use. They may have been welded in the 'out' position at a later date but I don't have any information on such a work order if it exists. Obviously, if placing stowage on the engine deck, they would be pulled out as convenient loops to tie down the stowage.

Terry,
I am sure Ovidiu meant 'until' in lieu of what is written. This from being married to an Eastern European and having heard much worse turn out to be the wrong word spoken.
Are you using the Tamiya kit as a reference for the Dragon Wagon? It looks good and hard to believe it is an Academy kit.
