Bob,

I am following your build with interst, as I have yet to use the Corleis Suspension System in a Tamiya WWII build.

I did finish a Tamiya KV-1 build for eBay about this time last year and found some areas that didn't work well:

1. the glacis plate rotates up & down like a motorcycle helmet visor if built per the instructions
2. the metal hull needs some bracing (flex and twists)
3. the kit idlers are to weak to run metal tracks successfully.

I teamed with Daryl Turner to find solutions and sent him my built hull during the early summer months of 2011.

The photos show DT's designed solutions to the aforementioned issues and should serve as good reference for your build.

John

PS The model is HUGE and dwarfs the Pz4J.
