Hi All,
After a long time away from modelling and posting on this site, here is my newest project, the AFV Club Churchill Mk.IV AVRE.
I already build two AFV Club Churchills, a MK.V and an other Mk.IV AVRE, they are both painted and waiting for weathering (my biggest challenge in modelling, but in this post I will concentrate on my newest project;
As per instruction I started working on the suspension, building the side panniers with the springs.
At this point I stopped following the instructions, because at building my first AFV Club Churchill, I had some problems gluing the suspension mountings with the axle mountinggs fitted on the pannier. This due to the spring tension.
So this time I've build the suspension mountings without the axle mountings;
And then I glued the suspension mounting on the pannier and let the glue dry;
After the glue has dried, I "clicked" the axle mountings (in the picture below from left to right) carefully in the suspension mountings and then placed the road wheels.
More progress soon!
Thanks for watching
Cheers Erik
