Today I finished all the bushings.
Tomorrow I will turn out the remaining bushings.
After that, the bushings will be pressed into place.

Have a nice day

Finally been to my little Panzerwerksatt and tinkered a bit.
Very happy that the spine allows this, but only a little more than an hour today.
Increased from M5 to M6 on the locking screws for the the torsion bars.

Now the assembly of the Jagdpanther begins.
From now on, it's only Happy Days.

You have done a fantastic job with the brass bushings!
It will be exciting to see how the suspension comes together and how well it works!
I do not know how the swing arms are secured these days, but on my tiger they screwed on a little bit more while load testing - pushing the preset angle off.
So when you have tightened them fully, tighten just that bit more and secure!

Today happy Sunday in my Mancave.
Continued with my lovely Jagdpanther.
Did some work on the rear armor, will be replacing some screws and details.
A good friend talked about why it is good to seal shafts, against moisture and dirt.
So I did this on my shafts.
Have a nice day to you all.

This is going to be a robust build!
Are the rear boxes from the kit, or something you sourced/built yourself? Look very good!

Rear boxes from the kit.
Very good updated details in this kit.

Superb update with the O-rings. Will prevent alot of future problems.

Hello
Small update on my JagdPanther.
Increased the size of some threads and replaced all grub screws,
with hardened screws ground down. For better contact surface.
Mill off the threads on the shaft where the stop screw should lock.
For better grip with the stop screw + that I also glue with Loctite 638.
Then I milled a smooth surface on the torsion bar with appropriate dimensions to fit the hardened screws.
Tomorrow a new day in my man cave.

Have started to screw together the chassis.
As well as screwing on certain details.
Also started with screwing the road wheels together, i will have nightmares about all these screws.

Very sweet looking!
Are you going to remove and prime the parts separately, or prime again with the parts on?

Prime parts on, but some big part will be painted and worked on.

Alot of screwing...
I love that you make great improvements on an already great kit.
