T-72 Build Tread (for our Colleagues abroad)

[HAL]

Front panel and cover.

Again to stress, quality of mould is very good.

You can easily install HL standard rotation unit in side as well.

And first track is ready.

[HAL]

These parts are very good in quality but you have to be careful. Choose screw-driver carefully.

[HAL]

OK, continue our "picking"...

Again quality of the mould is very good, but assembling itself is not up to 100% convenient.

[HAL]

Experiments and comparison continues...

Big turret rotation ring. I have compared it with ZTZ-99 - it is smaller (black is for ZTZ; green is for T72) in diameter.

Placing as it is...

I've tried to be more international.

Heh!
Well, I think our foreign colleagues will not understand this joke. As you are to know Russian Poetry...

And as the original says: "... and brother of steppe - Kalmyk!"

[HAL]

Sprockets tests.
I have tested them using MATO and HL standard gear. Good impression, all is being fixed with bolts quite good.



More tracks...

[HAL]

Turret is very interesting.
Was studying it and found some peculiar things.

Lower part - good quality moulding..
Have looked if it is possible to install standard parts from HL or MATO.

The standard rotation ring from HL from ZTZ in general could be installed, but you will have to redo the wi-fi niche.

Airsoft gun body just is put to see how the main gun will look.

All the rest mechanisms: main gun elevation unit and recoil units will not be fixed there. Either you will have to re-work the turret.

More pics with assembling

So moving on:

[HAL]

The standard IR Receiver by DeA is not good, I would say. Too huge... Beside visual realization of the hits received is not implemented according to our general rules and standard. So in future it will be necessary to re-make it.

But at the moment I re-made IR receiver only. Looks better now.

1) Dea standard one



2) Re-made version. Steps how to re-make it.
