Aunt Jemima Mine Roller and Sherman Hull Upgrade

Paul Heiser Models Aunt Jemima mine roller, tank front end.

Major parts laid out for final assembly.

This is a time consuming model to build but not difficult if you read and follow the directions closely.

Careful sanding and trimming is important too.

I used mostly gap filling super glue on the project.

One of my Aunt Jemima tanks is a half and half.  The upper hall is front half Roco and rear half Heiser Models.

The Roco Sherman rear engine deck is very wrong and so I am using the back half of a damaged Heiser Models upper hull to replace the Roco engine deck.  I used a razor saw to cut both hulls in half and lined them up and glued them together.  The fit is really close.  I had to do a little sanding on the sides and a bit of trimming here and there but very close.

 This is the center of the mine roller that I made out of two very thick pieces of plastic.  I used the Paul Heiser Models part as a guide.
