BT 5, 7 scratch

what im up to this time. Now im going to start a new work on a russian BT-5, 7 tank.
Here are the first plate for the hull.



this is nr 2 in scratch. the ARV was already got lower hull from asiatam

this is the model i am working with from " Zvezda " in my scratch work BT-5



Here i have the latest update and the making of the grill on the BT tank. The hole for the turret are also cutted out.

The rest of the openings on the upper hull part have been cutted out.



Here i have start to make the hinges for the engine deck. and mount on the hatch.



mounting of the hatch to the upper hull engine deck



And the last part the air intake for the engine

here is my simple rescale drawings i working with. why make it complicated.



The inner sidewalls have been cutted out to be prepared to get chrissie suspension



Here i have started to make the ribbs between the inner and outer walls for the suspension.



To get the nose plate right i have mount bits with 90 degree to get them right when mounting



The ribs on the inner wall mounted and the rear of the hull



The BT hull compared with T34


since the BT tracks will get to thin " 1,7 mm thick i going to remake the tracks of from T34
