Perhaps someone with primary references or books based solely on that?
In any case, I did edit my response as the author has a bibliography but doesn't state what came from where in the article.
The M22 Locust also had this idler arrangement and I don't see the steering issues mentioned (click here to see a list of YouTube videos on the M22 Locust):

I really like the smaller tracked vehicles.
Idk, the M3 & M5 Stuart both had a similar arrangement as well, right?
They were bigger than the Locust but yes, light tanks are cool!

Very interesting reading. Saul is just a wealth of information that continues to amaze me. Great work!! Gary S.

Next up is the tracks. Takom out did themselves with these. The links are flawless, crisp with no flash. Plus they are put together like the real ones were.
I watched a video of an Australian tank museum trying to beat the 80+ yr old rusted pins out of the links of a Panzer I they were restoring

I hear ya. It will live on a base under glass anyway. Even though the kit's suspension is designed to work it's all a bit loose for my liking. I'd rather have it tight with straight looking wheels.It's looking good so far, even without my readers!
What a shame it would be to glue all that cool, scale articulation up solid.
Your model, your choice.

Hobby Lobby had their 24"x 18" cutting mats for $10.99. This is the first build on it. I'll try not to use this one as an airbrushing pad.
Actually, I'm guessing this tank doesn't have a much bigger footprint than a 1/35 big cat, like a Tiger or Panther. Just the parts are alot bigger.
That is a very good deal!
In case anyone has a Jo-Ann's Fabrics nearby, they are closing shop and their cutting mats are at least 60% off.
This week, I plan to get these Fiskars double-sided cutting mats (click to order online if in stock):
18" x 24" for only $13.99USD -
24" x 36" for $25.99USD -

We went to the local Jo-Ann's here, in Chattanooga, as soon as the news about them closing aired. The women in there looked like they would have no problem killing each other for the deal!
Same here in two locations (NY/NJ). I bought jewelry tools and resin as the mats weren't on sale. Then they were only 50% off but the store was getting bare!

Yeah, the mats were expensive. They are in the sewing section of Hobby Lobby too, the one I got was back in the art/model area.
