Hi Gary

T-62 fuel lines have more or less the same position which they have on T-55

Anyway here you are some references

cheers

good work so far, I am also building both 62 and 72 versions, had no real problems, and I find trump to be one of the better modelfirms around, value for money, and they give a "die hard" the bases for further improving the kit.
some scratch and copperwire here and there will make it a nice model,
about the wheels, yup they are loose, but I didn't have a problem with the tracks,trie a Alan kit if you wanne stress

looking forward to your build!


small Question for the experts (sorry for puttin this in your post;) )
are there model62's still in action in syria today, I think I saw a pair in a clip on LL, but I could be wrong, pictures weren't that sharp, and far away....

greetz

Pit, T-62 1972 are still employed (against the civilians )

But I think that 1962 models are quite rare nowadays

looking great love the tracks
dave

I never thought of assembling the tracks around dry-fitted suspension. Wish I had posted this before you started them. A easy way to assure that they line up is too assemble two or three of them, then lay two pieces of balsa strip on each side of them. Snug it up and tape the two balsa strips to your bench. Voila, instant track jig.

Hi all,

Mauro - Thanks for the links. there are awsome pics on those links.

Pit - No worries here man! its all good. lets all learn more together!

David - Thanks man! after all that track cleaning its all down hill for me now.

Matt - thanks for the tip but i already use two rulers for the same thing.

Gary

Gary, I have lots of them, feel free to ask me for helps if you need

Cheers

Impressive patience doing all the tracks at once. End results look good though.

thanks Gary

mille grazie Mauro, 2 different paintjobs in the same picture


greetz

Prego Pit, di nulla davvero

Mauro, Jesse - Thanks guys!

Pit - no prob.

This is where im at now. going to start the fuel lines and the like. wish me luck Gents!

Thanks for looking!

Gary

Best of luck to you Gary

Phil.

Thanks Phil! ive been preping to start the fuel lines and i think i underestimated how difficult its going to be. so im takeing that good luck from you and pushing forward.

Gary

Gary, I'll be following you progress like a bee on honney

might be a good idea, I have some left over glassfiber it's insulated with a flexible tubing, I use this for connectors and fine with for the tubing,
wonder what you will use

greetz Tha Pit

Hi Pit,

i would like to know more about the glassfiber that you speak of. im still trying to gather up what i need to reasonably represent the fuel lines. Jesse gave me a great tip that im gonna try and use but i dont have the proper size wire to make the rubber hose and clamps so ill need to make a trip to the hardware store. i do have the proper guage wire for the hard lines.

Gary

BINGO! found just the right size wire insulator. rememberd i had a clear see through calculator and there it was. so the calculator is no more R.I.P. but now what im i to do. that calculator WAS my math skills! now i can go forward with the fuel lines.

Gary

here is my first fuel line. putting it together, not too bad. makeing the hose clamps, well thats gonna be a b*tch! im gonna try it but i dont think im gonna put the tightening screw on. thats just more than i want to do.

Lots more to do! thanks for looking!

Gary

lookin' GOOD dude!


greetz!

Thanks Pit!

got the rest of the main fuel line done. still not sure about doing the clamps...well see. i think they turned out ok given my first time. gonna make more fuel tank tie down brackets next.



Thanks for looking!

Gary

Wonderful work Gary. The fuel lines look great. But, no screw for the hose clamps? That just makes the rest of the work trash. Just kidding. With the amount of detail you put into your builds, I doubt anyone would notice.

Hey Matt!

Thanks man! You know how it goes...ill probably wind up putting them on anyways. it will drive me bananas if i dont!

Gary

Great job Gary!

That's more detail than I added. It's going to look good.

The mentor has striked again!
Those fuel line a quite magnifique mon ami.
And if you keep raising that bar I'll never finish that flak panther

Can't wait to see you paint that bad boy.

Phil.

Mauro - Jesse - Phil,

Thanks gentlemen! I appreciate it very much.

Gary
