A minor disaster...lost a piece, part A22, one of the idler shafts.

Not sure how, went to cut it off the sprue and only one was there, searched all over but couldn't find it, so have to make a new one! Got out some sheet styrene, template and my handy scribing tool (a needle in a mechanical pencil - works like a damn) and scribed out some circles.

Used a portion of one of the extra torsion arms from my Leopard 2A7 build for the axle and a part from the spare parts bin for the mounting rod. Fits perfectly and looks the part when in.

Per Murphy, now that you've gone to the trouble of creating that part, the original will surface. Nice save BTW.

On to the running gear. Each bogie assembly consists of 14 parts for the wheels and suspension. Everything is molded with front and back pieces so a seam runs down the middle of the track support skids so a fair bit of cleanup is required to get them looking like a single piece with no seam. Also, the bolts that hold the track support skids to the top of the volute suspension bracket are missing as usual so out comes the punch and die set to make a bunch of 0.5 mm bolt heads:

These are then fitted the track support skids:

Then I added the 4 mounting holes for the support roller bracket:

Then put the bits together...

Right and left handed bogie assemblies:

Also painted and weathered the bottom hull interior:

Thanks, actually I am using the kit wheels, I just pre-painted them and the inside of the suspension arms before assembly as it is hard to get good coverage when all together.
