is there a correct track lay on a T55 or at least a correct droop as if you check this site http://tanxheaven.com/t54t55var/t54t55varpic.htm the same tank has a very differant track lay on each side. when a say correct perhaps it should be accepted norm. while on the subject am i the only one who cannot view the T55 walk around pictures in the photo gallery section. it stats i do not have permission but i can view every other gallery i have tried.

thank you. if i read the picture correctly it should hit the three middle road wheels and just miss the rear road wheel and be well clear of the front road wheel.

Owsley, you're my hero.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid to build a T-55 and show it to you

I assume you mean the T55 walkaround that I made some years ago which is posted here in the gallery. during some shifts with the new gallery system this link got ruined and it is not visible in the walkaround section anymore.
Thanks for noting this I will try to get the pictures up and running again.

With friendly greetz

How about that Type69 you been goofing with for years?



The one I started right after the first Gulf War? I ought to dig that out and bash it with the Tamiya kit. Check back with me in about 14 more years ...
