Nothing exciting just finished the first couple of steps, but it's a start.
I haven't decided on which paint scheme to use yet, still have time to decide.

and at the end of the production run one of the factories, M.N.H. replaced the roller with a cast steel skid shoe-Gleitschuh.

Do you mean for instance when the tank goes in reverse?

Status: offline 		Yes you are correct that return roller prevents the track to stay on the sprocket. I too thought what was with wheel when I built my jad, and then I saw on you tub when Littlefield took out his panther for the first time,when he is backing it up into the garage I then seen why that wheel was placed there.If I find the video I will post it. I think this tank is one of my favorite. You are quit welcome for the parts,I have some other parts for latter, Lets see if I can find the vid.

Speaking of Wayne's casting, I initially over looked a couple of small parts.

In addition to the bump stops there were 2 final drive housings and 2 torsion bar caps.

I overlooked the torsion bar caps...till now.

I glued 3 tiny photo etch screws to each cap, primed and then epoxied to the hull.
