    I reconstructed (with a bit of fear...) the undecarriages in order to have them in a more correct position...

    What do you think?

    P.s.
    Looking at the photos, I probably need to position the pneumatics better so that they stick to the ground... hoping not to break anything...

    Beautiful work. What a beast the jug was. Holding the line against the enemy in 1943 when the heavies needed them the most. :clap: :clap:
