Dear goodnight
I present my new project is a kit to be assembled in scrach, the idea is to build a model which bought Argentina, the firm Vickers Carden Loyd, is the 1934 model.
I started looking online documentation and literature (books Ricardo Jorge Sigal Fogliani, Armored Argentinos and Nahuel DL 43)
Créquis That I present the progress made and model




















The target is this:





Regards, Omar

The first plastic on stick:





Idler wheels, a transformation of surplus wheels Panzer I, are the diameter of the Vickers ...



The key pieces, I'll have to copy in order to achieve the suspension arm ...



The town is taking shape, bonding the first rivets and armed grid







For now come up here ...

Cheers

Impressive work so far, looking forward to seeing it develop!

Excellent work. I look forward to seeing more

Good Job.

I am doing the same project but I am using a lazy approach. I will build it base on the Vickers Amphibious Tank. The turret is there. The wheels and tracks are there. I only need to build the hull.

Thanks for the feedback
Cams saw model, one model brings the same type of turret this model, but care that not all sold turrets of this model were the same, like the suspension, had an elastic system and other springs. If you use the amphibious model, this has to be the European colonial, the Chinese version is similar but different.
There are new developments in the turret ...










Cheers

Different suspensions

Argentine model



Other models

More advances...








- Omar

looks great. Keep it up.

Very impressive.

More advances in the model, some complications with the suspension hopefully resolve soon. For now the tractor and idler wheels were placed, I hope you like.













Cheers, Omar

Congratulations Omar


Enhorabuena, excelente proyecto.

Thanks Jose for breath, see if we achieve the goal step by step ...

(Gracias José por el aliento, veremos si logramos el objetivo... paso a paso)

More advances...

What's new Vickers, the links placed in the tank, is taking shape ...









Omar

Really nice work, Omar. Which tracks are these?

Paul

Hi Paul, thanks.

They are of Universal carrier (Modelkasten)
Regards

Ah, Modelkasten, thought so.

Ta, much!

Can I Ask why you didn't use the Universal Carrier wheels for the rear idler? Were the idlers that much different than the UC road wheels? When I scratchbuilt a Mk II Light Tank years ago the drawings I had seemed to show the idler was the same as a normal road wheel. Was it different for this vehicle? (Of course, I could have been wrong those years ago as well.)

Paul

Hi Paul

The reality is that I had two more wheels panzer I, so I used those instead of copying the Bren Carrier, there is no scientific explanation , ha ha ...

Cheers

Cool. Thanks!

Hi all!!!

More advances of The Vickers Comercial Tank, now the mud guards and the exhoust









More advances of The Vickers Commercial Tank, now the mud guards and the exhaust pipe

Omar

Hi
The last step, to end assembly, I put all accessories, I use any different materials, like plastic, some rest of photo etch, resin copy, and copper wire and iron wire...



























Regards

Hi all, the first advances with the paint:
