O.K. found my references. Here is a picture of the wheels without hubs. Not the clearest but you can pick out a lot of the details. If you are looking for another detail in particular let me know.

Thanks very much Roy, any pics you have will be greatly appreciated!

I managed to get the Fruils together. They have new wire with there sets. It is basically useless, way too soft. I substituted some other wires. The resin bits are copies I've made from a detail set. Its late so I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves for now.

I made a few vids to show my process for the above brass etch being soldered. If you have any questions let 'em rip!

Thanks for sharing your soldering technique videos Jamie, they are very helpful.

I haven't done any soldering on my models yet, but I will be starting soon as some etched parts really need to be soldered for strength. For example the etch track guards on my R/C Panther.

Can you explain how you cleaned up the part in the last video?

Thanks

Tim

Nice work Jamie, my only suggestion thus far would be removing the radio set. Very, very few early T-34s had radios. Keep it there if you know for a fact the one your modelling (based off a photo maybe) has one, otherwise I would leave it off as they were very rare. Your soldering is great. I would probably use more P.E. if my soldering was better. I will be checking out the videos often I think.

I'll have an update with photos soon, just busy with building last couple of days, those PE sets take a lot of time!!!
Roy do you have any good shots showing the front where the mud flaps attach. I want to maybe not have a mud flap on one side so I need to know how that armour joint looks at the front.
