BTW...here's a Hellcat I did a while ago..... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=1998545 |
Hi Fynsdad
Nice. Is that an M26 hull you've used as the basis - wheel spacing suggests that, rather than the M41? Mal |

I like the outdoor setting and the photos!
Thanks for the update. Any shots of the interior would be appreciated |
Nice build. Looked awesome!

Your building skills and photography skills are very impressive ....... top notch !
Rex |
Lovely work and lovely choice of subject matter! Thanks for showing us :)

No, I'm very interested and hope you post more pics. I would like to know how you formed the turret so nicely though.
Thanks Again. Jim |
There's not too many more pics I'm afraid. This was a strange build, I didn't really enjoy it as I took a lot of stick from a couple of guys on another forum because, for reliability, I used a Pzr3 sprocket, and how I should have scratchbuilt one, even though I don't think these "experts" have done much more than sprayed a couple of Heng longs ;) so it was just a case of get it finished and sell it on, (to someone who's very happy with it).
...as to the turret it's just plasticard with a lot of filler/sanding to the cast "nose"....... |
Well I think it looks great. Would also like to know the cuts you made to the M-26 Chassis??

That I can show... basically took the last roadwheel off, and a strip down the middle to get her narrower and shorter. Gearboxes on a plate which is then fixed into position...

...and a pic to show the size difference between her and a Sherman...

You do some amazing work. I have enjoyed your builds wherever I see them.

its a great work nicely done , three years ago i saw a real chaffee next to a sherman ... it looks as if yours is a little to big ... but still its beautiful scratch work
what i remembered of the chaffee he was even tiny against a sherman (105mm) honestly i was disappointed then of it ... can it be a bit to width or is that optical disillusion ? this year he will be back on Wings and wheels in 23-24 august i bet ... but still my favourite although a hellcat is the max ... well done mate |
