Good Evening Rockerteers and Children Of All Ages Too,
As yesterday was a holiday. I figured table (don't have a bench) time was in order. I wanted to continue with the pump trailer by (faking) building the pumps and motors. I spent hours going through all my spares boxes and such to find pieces to use...
It is hard to believe how many unbuilt kits I found in the boxes too. Scary!!!
What you see below, besides lots of pieces, tells the story. Top left is 3 pieces of resin that come with the Tankwagen from Azimut. The bottom piece on the sprue is the manual pump for refueling the V2. I need at least 2 - 3 for this project. Using a differential from a 38T, I sawed off the two wafer thin ends to use as the basis. The saw blade is almost through the second one in the pic. The yellow pieces are the air filter holder from the old Nitto Sd. Kfz. 251 from the 70's. The 2 pieces on the right will be modified as the back plate of the pump. Some solder or wire for the hose and other tidbits to complete it. Should work....
Above is the resin gas engine (between the 2 cylinder heads) and the resin pump (on the sprue) that will be created by the surrounding parts. It will take a little time to do this and of course working everyday sure doesn't help the cause....Below is what we are trying to create. Manual pump on the ground and gas powered pump in the truck...

Thanks for looking in and I hope to get more table time soon!
