Hi Bob. I have a question about the suspension parts you're using. It was designed for the King Tiger, which has all of the roadwheel arms going the same direction (they point forward on the left side, and to the rear on the right side), but all of them use the same parts. The springs all have the same direction of twist to them, and as the roadwheel moves up, the spring becomes tighter and gives more resistance.

On your KV, you may run into the same problem that I am on my Cromwell build - the roadwheel arms on both sides all point toward the rear of the tank. I've adjusted the arms to give the vehicle a good 'sit' but I'm finding that under tension, the springs for the arms on the left side are trying to 'unwind' and actually get softer in resistance. After some flexing, the vehicle tends to lean towards the left.

I have this suspension for the KT, Tiger I and the Panther, and all use the same direction of springs, (because all of those tanks use the same orientation of roadwheel arms). Do you know of a set that is made for a tank like the KV, that would have one set of springs twisted in the other direction? -Mike
