Hi Mick
Very nice bit of Covert Reorganisation.
I dont think your good lady will notice the Comet under
her favourite dress
Your Panther is coming together real nice,plenty of parts
to enjoy.

Hello Guys, thanks for your replies.....would you believe....she still has not noticed the changeover.....
To be fair...she will. I have a well rehearsed answer.....and..... I did the hoovering/cleaning.
You do not get to my age without knowing most of the answers, to most of the questions.....Mick

Hello everyone, started on the tyre fitting.....I have gone for the system I used on my Comet. Because the tank will not be used in anger, gentle run around, no hard driving. I applied M3 super strength double sided tape to the wheel. The rubber tyre is then carefully pressed onto the rim. Lovely clean finish....Mick

hi michael, does this tyre fixing meathod work, as i rarely drive my tanks the glue process seems extreme to me and messy, regards simon manning

[michael hilton]

Hello Simon, yes I used this method to great effect on my Comet....I asked for advice on the Forum during the Comet build. Most prefer the Loctite adhesive, however, I have had a bad experience with Cyanoacrylate glues.
I would say that M3 super strength double sided tape is cleaner,quicker,and unless you drive your tank to the limit, the best option. I know others have used this method with success....Mick

[michael hilton]

This is my method
