A bit of progress today, had a first look at the sprockets and hubs today
and was very happy, Wanted to take them home but this guy I found seems a
good find. He suggested making the holes in the hub for me to bolt the
sprockets on so Big woohoo to that. He is threading them as well for me.

nice work - be sure and post up some pics of the improved motor mounts
are the track pads plastic like the Sturmtiger?

They are plastic, but they are acetal plastic and not ABS. They are
thinner. I can actually pick this vehicle up and move it around. When the
mount broke, I had to pick it up and carry it about a 100 yds back to the
house. That was fun.

Agreed, very nice. I love the amount of suspension travel. I think watching
a tank's suspension is the coolest part, heh

When (if) I build the turreted top, it will be classified as a tank. If I
use the flat top, it will be classified as a supply vehicle. The turret
should be large enough to hold a small marker.

on some back road coming from the airport to see a B-17 and B-25, we passed
a small playground that had a Sherman variant parked in the corner. i

Did it have a turret or was it a fixed gun?

Fantastic. That should help you gain experience with two categories of
vehicles in one tank.

What did you mean by open turret? Did it have multiple barrels like
a Flak gun? I'm thinking it was a priest, but those have a howitzer in
the body.

The Bulldog is a closed top tank. You might have seen a Hellcat tank
destroyer. It has an open top with a machine gun mount on the top.

That was my next guess. The Duster is really easy to drive. I wish I had

the one at Ft. Snelling or the Bulldog. The Duster and Bulldog are built on
the same chassis.
The main difference between the two is that the Duster has a manual pump to

I guess I should've know to qualify that statement. That's the only
difference as far as driving them.
The engine, tranny, tracks, bogies, sprockets, and most of the deck plates
are the same. There are
differences in some of the hull areas and of course the turrets.

The Duster has twin AA guns... Bofors, I think... There is a static example
fairly near me, if you need pics.
