FINALLY!!!!

You guys are a couple of lucky stiffs with a BA Puma kit. But if YOU two find it rough and face obstacles straight from the box I know my effort would be futile. That and the $$$.

Too bad they burned down photobucket... pics sure would be nice.

Panther Red the post on this forum how to see picture from PB....They ar back if you put in the fix. You must use Google Chrome for this fix to work. Go here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...bifiaedg?hl=en

First, I deleted my pics from Photobucket so can't see them with the google upgrade. Sorry!! The upgrade does work if the pics are still in photobucket and you are using google chrome. I tried it and it works!!

Second, Many thanks go out to Peter at Xion.de for his generous replacement of parts for a kit not purchased from him. I can't praise him enough for the help he is giving me on this kit. I highly recommend him on any of the Metal Origin kits and upgrades.

Third, PantherF- you could build this kit. With all of your knowledge of WWII armor and the Tamiya tank kits, you would have no problems. It just takes longer to build as there is more tweaking to be done on it. Cast parts versus molded parts just means more fitting.

Frissen,

Getting new ball heads from Xion.de. Hope they fit better than the original ones do. Might also try complete new ball ends if not satisfied with the ball heads. found some very inexpensive ones on ebay that are metal and not plastic. I am dreading taking the model apart to work on the ball ends.

I was thinking I saw once some link ends that didn't bind that helped with deflection and increased the angle range, especially for those high lift front-ends. (if I'm making any sense here)

It kinda looked like a brass bearing inside the joint... like a REAL tie rod end on our older cars.
