Hello partners:

I need a favor. If some of you has realized the DANA of Panzer Shop.

That gets in touch with me, I am clogged practically on having started and take tons of time.

Thanks to all for attending to me.

Health and respect,

Jose Ramon

Hello:

Thanks for answering, I am clogged in the framework and need what it measures of long whole and from the central part up to the end of the front and the same of the rear part.

Greetings,

measuring will be difficult because of the complicated suspension and because the right and left wheel of each axle are not in 1 line like any other truck axle. What I did is:

1) I assembled the whole frame rails, so all 4 pieces.
2) I temporarily fixed the 2 big plates and pivot point on the chassis rails (those 2 plates on the chassis underneath the turret)
3) I put the turret in front of that (also temporarily)
4) I put the whole assembly upside down
5) I built both suspension sets (2 axles each) without assembling them to the frame.
6) I dryfitted the wheels on them
7) I put the suspension sets on the frame rails and moved them forwards and backwards until the wheels had enough space on the front and back. Watch out, the right wheel is more backwards than the left wheel. Check the pictures of the actual vehicle. This difference is clearly visible at the tool boxes between the 2nd and 3rd axle.

I had the problem that the wheels were also too high, so they touched the bottom side of the fenders. i believe the instructions say you should keep 3 mm space. The wheels also almost toched the cabin.

Basically, the whole suspension was a nightmare to assemble.

Here is mine ( the grass on the groundwork is miserable, an experiment gone horribly wrong )



good luck,

Matthijs

you're welcome,

if you need any more info, just send me a PM. The engine bay and the turret will also be quite difficult to assemble
