Well, I bit the bullet again and here's the outcome.




My new M14A3 Walker Bulldog. My first USA tank.

In spite of all that interferers with the joys of life, we managed a little tank time and threw a track in the process.

Here's my fix for that.

interesting. Where did you come by this?

like that- explain please?

Well, my Tiger1 seemed to like to slip the metal track slightly to the outside occasionally. The Tiger1 Pro version already has a driveshaft bearing in the chassis, so I knew this wasn't a reason for this issue. What I did see was a large gap between the outer drive sprocket and guide teeth with no anti-slip ring on the drive sprocket. So after looking for a anti-slip ring or a drive sprocket that indeed have one built into it with absolutely no results, I decided to fabricate and install my own anti-slip ring epoxied to the inside of the outer drive sprocket which about 95% cured this issue of the track slipping to the outside. And if it did, by making a quick turn to the side of which it did slip, the metal track moved back onto the teeth of the drive sprocket. Maybe I need to patent this?

Nice piece. Mine comes off the TC right rear, I do have a repair that I need to install. It will have to wait.

Nice collection David!

Are both 122 and 321 Tamiya? If so I see slight differences between them. Are they just different options you chose to go with IE the different exhaust and location of jack block?

And how did you do the kill tally rings on the barrels? Freehand or decals? TIA.

Keep it up.

Yes! They are both from Tamiya. And yes, the Tamiya kit had 2 different exhausts types (options) for the modeller to choose.

The kill ring marks are decals from Forgebear:

Very cool David! I really dig the Jagdtiger in Grey. Is 204 full metal unpainted a Mato or other?

The 204 at the far left is a Tamiya. The 204 in the middle is the unpainted full metal Mato. I kept it unpainted so it will join the other 2 Panzers to be in the next Battlestar Galactica, lol.

Your tank collection boggles the mind.👍 How long did it take you to amass it? I don't feel so bad now with my total of 13😉😀

I have been into tanks for a long time but mostly static models. If you asked about amassing, I started buying them when we were into the second year of Covid. I was so bored and started buying, painting and weathering them at the rate of one tank a week; sometimes 2 tanks a week. My first IR battle was with the LA Tank Club in August 2021.
