They'll keep you busy for a while Andy, but well worth the effort just for the way they will look afterwards and will also add a nice 'weighty' feel to the model too. Cool ThumpUp

BigGrin Made a start today by constructing the two wheel assemblys. The assembly includes springs so the suspension is fully working as per the real tank a nice little touch. The detail so far is crisp and still more to add to the two track sponsons.

More soon.
