Hello all:
I am building Aero Plast's BM-8-24 and the instructions leave much to be desired. Can anyone help me with the correct position the idler should be? Up, down, forward or rearward from its attachment point. The kit has been going well other than the bad destructions.

18 Bravo thanks for the photo it helps much, BTW I spent 12 years in Colorado (1991-2003). Lived in Loveland, Westminster, Monument Hill, Longmont, Commerce City. My job took me all over the state. It is a good thing that the Navy put me through winter driving school when in Maine. Is the traffic still bad on 25 when the Broncos play?

Glad it could help. That photo shows it short tracked - interesting in itself as not many people choose to model any armor in this fashion.
I avoid Denver when I can. I spend most of my Colorado time in the Springs, and try to work in a ski trip or a 14'er in when I can. Last months gig took me out your way to Coronado Island. Let's just say it was not as...easy.
