Hi Bob
I am looking at my instructions for the universal Carrier and there are NO 5mm rivets.
So I do not understand your postings about 5mm rivets.

The list states 1.6mm rivets 10 off and 2.5mm rivets 210 off .

What tool have you received ? Can you post a picture?

Regards

Derek

Hi Guys
It would be nice to see an updated version of the 222 with a better gun and turret.

Hi Simon
It is a work of art this build looks like a real halftrack love the weathering and paint job.

Keep up the great work on this build.

Hi Bob
1.6mm is 1/16 of an inch and the other rivets are 2.5mm which is near enough 3/32 of an inch to the best of my memory
rivet snaps for those sizes should be near enough.
Rivets are measured by the shaft size not the head size I hope this helps.

Hi David
You are going to need a big bath for that one
I have a 1:128th scale Rodney and that takes 2 of us to lift it and its
only about 6 feet long.

Seriously though a stunning build

Hi Dave
This is going to be a most useful thread for when I start my build.
Yours is looking Fantastic.

Hi Dave
Looking very good a fast build for sure.
I was wondering if you had any plans to do decals for the dash board dials ?
Its a shame non were supplied in the kit like there were in the Famo kit
as its an open top machine.

Hi Dave Good to see these parts coming together. I will be ordering a set in the new year. I have postponed getting my carrier till the new year when I hope the motion set will be available too.

Hi Brian Looking good as Phil said get the motors in now otherwise its a major strip down to fit them later. Also check the torsion bar ends fit in the brass bearing blocks some of mine didn't and I had to ream them out which ment seperating the two sides to get access to the one with the countersun...
