And in my case while the Jeeps are about the right scale, the T-55 isn't and will be inflicted on someone who can make use of it.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-72331189936700120592015-08-14T08:05:22.293+01:002015-08-14T08:05:22.293+01:00Pete

Maybe use printed paper like you did with the BMP.<br /><br />JamesJLee118https://www.blogger.com/profile/17019479873474364780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-30217615707036975392015-08-13T23:32:56.984+01:002015-08-13T23:32:56.984+01:00I have a tracked AA vehicle with a similar tractio...I have a tracked AA vehicle with a similar traction system. In part I disguised the flush road wheels with plastic strip, and that is as far as I've got. But I think I will trim of the road wheels altogether, make tracks from baling strip, with drive sprockets from some plastic nut things (retrieved from some now defunct household device), all built around a balsa frame. This is all in my head at the moment, but will probably form the subject of a blog posting when I get around to it...Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-37396228749500450592015-08-13T22:54:29.668+01:002015-08-13T22:54:29.668+01:00An interesting find- the T55 looks like a candidat...An interesting find- the T55 looks like a candidate to be dug an as an emplacement to me.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Pete.Pete.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668389518826053090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-58657298211280493462015-08-13T21:46:51.265+01:002015-08-13T21:46:51.265+01:00Brian Carrick
