New brackets look good! Sure might spoil your day if you get the cans mixed up.

This is the rear rack on the subject tank...

Can you make it out? looks like two parallel bars with support coming up at the corner, possibly more supports spaced out. Not sure how it would attached to that stowage rack but no one can tell me I did it wrong either. :dude

So... :hmmm :hmmm

Yep! Git'r done!

Productive hour tonight.

Here's a better shot of that forward can rack

Overall shot, just got to place the aft rack and can and some other stuff.

looking at the blown up shot it looked to me that the rack was bent on the LHS but welded on the RHS. so..that's what I did.

basically built a latter and bent it around some for the rack on the stowage rack. Just dry fitted just now.

Whacha think?

Should have never messed with those springs. the kit parts were fine but nooooo...I had to go muckin' with them.

Finially found the right size wire to make the springs. Oddly enough the better looking spring was the first one. May pop the second one off and try again, or throw a tarp over it

Got to get the machine gun mount and stowage fixed up. Then the dreaded tracks...

Rumor has it you got a bitchin' brass MG for this baby. Springs are looking good and I really like the racks!

 

[moon puppy]

Korean Sherman

You like my racks?? :kiss:

:facepalm

And thanks for that MG, I keep putting this off cause of the tracks. just not sure what to do yet. :idonno

 

[Iron Mike]

Korean Sherman

Yeah, nice rack!

:laugh:

Best advice on tracks, do a little at a time and before you know it, you're done. :idonno

Hell no don't cover those springs. They look just fine. Replacing the hatch springs really makes the turret pop.

I wouldn't worry about the other one either. All people are gonna say is "look he put real springs on that hatch"

The Legion PE set comes with a replacement stowage rack on the rear so of course I had to replace what I did.

Wasn't too hard.

The scratch built rack fit right in. Not bothering with the hinges inside because ammo boxes will cover them, same thing with the tie downs.

Hope you likey...
