OK well after a buddy of mine had some serious issues with his T34 on the front of the lower hull. That got me to thinking about the weak point on my JS-2 The front glacis is pretty much just plastic with a small piece of metal that runs on the lower part of the hull for bracing. The problem is that the even though the idler system is attached to the hull, there is no real brace or anything for the hull near the idler where most of the strain is going to be. So after talking to some of the more seasoned tankers at the last Danville event about needed upgrades and possible bracing I came up with this. My hope is that this will brace up the hull enough to allow me to add the other necessary upgrades that I have found out were needed for an overall better drive and look while battling at Danville. As always comments or suggestions are always welcome.



The nice thing is that the brace doesn't impede the attachment point on the front for the upper and lower hull.
