Ryan's M3 medium

[cantankrs]

Hi Tony, Ryan, I didn't click before my last post about the possibility of trying to imitate a Sentinel from an M3 Medium bottom half. Never entered my skull until Tony spelt it out for me. I suppose the action of the suspension is similar but I think the Sentinel has a horizontal spring or springs rather than twin vertical volute. But I reckon you could fabricate the suspensions from scratch. The track tensioner is presumably just a roadwheel and you might be able to find the tensioner brackets and original wheels if you look hard. Dunno how you'd hide the hull joining rivets and make it look reasonable.

I've attached 2 pics of Sentinel suspension to give an idea of construction along with what I think is a Sentinel Roadwheel.

Any spare M3 turrets over there in the West Alex?

Anthony, unfortunately not that I know of. I got one years ago and then I heard some rumours about one in the last few years that went to India as scrap cos the scrappies had no idea of its real value.

Regards

Alex
