Sherman HVSS Idler Mounts
1:35 #F057
Review by Terry Ashley
The parts are again in light cream resin but there was a bit of cleanup needed with some minor resin residue as well as the usual casting blocks and very small sink holes in each of the eccentric mounts.
It should be noted that these idler mounts are not suitable to use with rubber band type vinyl track as they are not strong enough but can be used with any individual link track or plastic link and length track.
To fit the idler mounts to the target kit you will have to remove the moulded on details from the kit hulls before adding the new resin mounts but nothing that will be too difficult.
The idler mountings are not symmetrical like the VVSS mounts so can be used on either side of the hull.
Another simple update set to add finer details to any HVSS Sherman kit.
Recommended.
