Default The other King Tiger project

Here is the build, I will be doing a stock Tamiya assembly except for some things I might find around the house or in my junk bins. This is a big kit, first thing was to account for all the parts and check against the included parts listing.

Step 1: Suspension.
9 suspension housings to each side of the chassis, 18 total attached with 36 screws, each one is loctited.



2 Torsion bar stays secured to the chassis with 4 screws each and loctited



Next the attachment of 18 suspension arms and the torsion bars, here is the pile, the torsion bars are in the back taped into a stack



Here they are after installing, they go together using a neat mechanical locking system





I also didn't realize that the suspension arms on the KT are oriented differently on each side, unless I have made a big mistake !
Thats it for the first nights work, more to come.
