OK here's the first of the 6 Horizontal Volute bogie sets, a bit time consuming as there are 31 parts in each including the mount on the lower hull of the Sherman. It's going to be a while before I get these done then there's the drive, and all the idlers after that. I hope I stay alive long enough to finish this....
