Does anyone know how the 105mm ammo boxes mounted to the sides of the air cleaners were actually attached? Were they bolted and if so, was it to the fender? I am told there were filled with sand as a form of protection and curious as to how they were mounted that allowed the sand to stay put.

Jack,
I got the same kind of email from Samer Kassis (30 Years of Military vehicles in Lebanon) After his review published. Makes me feel good to see that our reviews are appreciated by more than just fellow model builders.

I think it looks great. Sorry you had to do the kit swapping. Looks like I'm in the same boat to built a IDF M4A1. I have AEF designs conversion but still need to BORROW parts from the Operation Cobra and Thunderbolt VII kits.
-
Very Nice indeed!!!
-
Wow,
I need to start saving this clippings. My memory is not what it used to be.
-
Way to Go Mark!!!
-
That is like the third vehicle in as many years. Makes me wonder what else will be found next?
-
What an impressive Bird. So are you building another garage to house it?
-
If you already haven't, you need to check the reviews section and check out Scott's JagdTiger. Most excellent job.
-
Way to go Tim!!! I only have the Achilles kits. I was gonna check with Randy on Friday night when we get together to build.

Mud? I don't need no sticking mud! Actually, I keep telling myself to try more diorama ideas. But then I also keep telling myself I am going to win the lottery.

Well, if it's the hull I'm hosed. It is all closed up. I put the bogies on an glued them to what I thought was straight. We'll see when the road wheels get added tomorrow.
-
My parts only have a large and small pin. No lower or upper. The back side of the bogies are flat ad straight. I am thinking it is those 38 and 39 parts. on some the bogies toe out more that others. Doesn't matter which bogie I put on it.

Mike and Gil,
Thanks on the notice. Glad to know that I am not completely losing my mind. I didn't want to exaggerate too badly on the toeing but, yes it is really noticeable. It has been a long time since I built any Dragon German armor. Trumpeter's Bruckenleger panzer didn't have this issue so I was worried it was me. Scary to pay $57.00 for a kit and have such a BASIC part of the kit be so malfed up. Not sure I understand the hot water method but I might give that a try this weekend. Scared of ruining the undercarriage and having no spares to fix it.
-
Hello All,
I was test fitting my bogies on the undercarriage and they all have a terrible outward toe to them. Did anyone else have this problem? Did I assemble something wrong? The parts 38/39(mounts) appear flush and correct.

Hello All,
Just got my SKIF BTR-152E-ZU-23-2 and it comes with all the parts for the dismounted version (like on the GAZ-66) but the instructions only show it built with the wheels removed. I plan on putting it inside a Land Rover and want the wheels included. Does anyone have a scan of the SKIF instructions that show the complete kit?

I have always wanted to order stuff from them but with the exchange rate have always hated the possibility of doing it. I remember long ago, I ordered something from an Italian firm and from the date of order till they charged my card the rate shot up almost .50 to the dollar and it really irritated me.

These guys are out and look incredible. Can't wait till mine arrives to get a better look.

Hello,
I spend two hours searching there last night and luckily someone sent me a link today. Guess I'll be searching R&Js bins tomorrow.

Hello All,
Does anyone know if a company makes a set of after market wheels to go on the Italeri/Revell Land Rover? I have found about 6 aftermarket hop ups (some with wheels some not) but no wheel sets. Any and all help is always welcomed.
-
Very Neat...I am been thinking of doing mine with a 23-2.
-
Verlinden head set #1755 has three possiblies, #1730 has one, #2056 has a couple, Legends LF0112 might have one, Verlinden #1598 has one.
-
Wow,
What a neat idea. Here I was thinking I would be scanning them to him. Thanks a lot RG.

Been trying to find out if my LHS has the new Fruil track or not.
