How would i go about making a L/70. I plan on mating tamiyas kit with Dragons L/48. I need to some how make the late exhaust and the three idlers and the first four steel rimmed road wheels. any help?
The exhausts can be simulated with styrene or brass tube easily enough. The road wheels are a little tougher, I filled the strength webs on the kit wheels with putty then sanded to get a smooth wheel. Then I wrapped a thin strip of lead foil around the outer edge of the wheels to simulate the steel running surface. Styrene strip would work too I think. The return rollers need to be cut off and three of them relocated as shown in your ref pics. That’s about all I’ve got on the conversion, of course when I did mine I only used the Tamiya kit. Dragon didn’t exist then.
