Posts: 80 17 November, 2009 01:05:26	Tags : None Remove this ad I' ve got alot of kits going and have gotten nowhere with any of them , sooooo. I have made a sorta pact with myself to focus on three builds. All are in 1/6 scale and all are gonna be loads of fun. The first is the 1/6 Dragon Kubelwagen. Second is the 1/6 Dragon Kettenkrad...and lastly is my 21st century Toys Willy's Jeep. The two Dragon kits are fun builds out of the box but as you might know I'm a scratch builder and these babies need alot of work. The Willy's Jeep is already built but is in desperate need of a serious over haul itself. These three projects are a preperation for a few complete scratchbuilds I have lined up but thats for another time. Tonights project is the torsion bars for the kubelwagen and the kettenkrad. Neither kit has workable suspension so it's something I'm gonna tackle first. I'm using metal instead of plastic so I'm treading cautiously. Here's a pic of the kubelwagen kit front suspension. http://images.yuku.com/im...c3f96a1a4e081ecf3a5f.JPG Here's a drawing of how it's supposed to work. http://images.yuku.com/im...c181673f4b01ffa66a0d.gif Cya, Ray Trade/Sale List Last Edited By: rbleathers 17 November, 2009 03:00:59.

I instead find fault with a kit and feel compelled to fix it. No matter what the task requires. Damn, I love this $hit. I've been cleaning up the body frame so there's nothing to take a pic of yet. I've got to re-configure my floor pan sections then make them. Not to tough really, just time consuming. I can't really move forward with the rest of the build till it's complete. Tonight I'm breaking out the Kettenkrad to get it going. It's not gonna be quite the project the Kubel is but it's no out of boxer for me either. Nothing is. I need a shrink. Ray Trade/Sale List
