Default RE: t-34 build

Looks really good. I like that you fixed the turret seperation plane. Got rid of that hard plastic ridge from sticking out.

One comment on the suspension. Mine is a 'low rider too' It happens to these. It's not so much that the springs sag, it's more of a torsional bend on the arms. You will find out after a while, especially if you run the tracks loose, that the tracks will jam against the sponson plates. It has happened to all my T-34's. Your mods should get around that. You need bushed axles on the wheels. Must have. Also, you will notice that the suspension arms are hollow. I filled mine with milliput. It strengthens them considerably.

Looks really good, anxious to see more.
