All I have done to this point is strip all the old paint off, and strip all the screws holding the bogies together.
Putting bearings in the wheels has turned into a week long project.
My new screws should arrive from the AAF today and I will have a functioning chassis this week.
I don't want to start cutting the upper until I have all the parts in hand, just in case.
And just to complicate this project even more, I am also ordering a Stug IV from Asiatam.
I hope to be able to 'swap' the upper hulls on/off of the l Tammy lower chassis, so I kinda get 2 tanks in one.
I know the Asiatam won't be a perfect fit, and there will be some fiddling to be done.
But, my hope is that between these 3 upper hulls, I can make a sorta unique and detailed PIVausfH and an assault gun that I can battle as TFA.
That is if I don't run out of patience or money first!
