Morning Jack,
It's a high abrasion polyurethane casting resin. Jon

Super market queues Tim, what are they or am I just lucky that I haven't had to experience any such thing.
Evening All, Six road wheels finished and now I have to wait for more polyurethane. This is the new Panzer ll sports model. Today we pushed the hull outside to give the track guards a coat of under coat and to put the upper hull in place so that I can start to construct the engine deck.

Someone asked me how I had made the turret ring, well this was my solution. A series of bearings spaced around the turret ring circumference, eight vertical and eight horizontal bearings trapped between an upper and lower flange, so that the turret can't come off. When I described what I had manufactured, I was told that it was the same as on an American Stuart light tank but as I have never seen a Stuarts turret ring, I can't comment.

Turret
I used a similar turret bearing layout. I found that it can bounce and rattle a small amount when driving on uneven ground. I would suggest that a thin layer of rubber be put between the flange and the hull and the bearings and the ring to eliminate the rattle.
Aside from that your build is amazing. I wish I had your time/tools/patients and skill.
