Looking for something I could use to line up the hubs and the discs, I eventually found this:
The black end of this draughting pen fits well in the hole in the hub:
… allowing me to glue the disc to it neatly as well:
Do that eighteen times, leave to dry and do the other side (lining up the spokes by eye) and you have:
Another task tackled. Until you dry-fit things and find that:
… a set of six discs is too wide to fit the Bold Division parts
I first thought I might be able to sand down the hubs a little, but the set of six discs is about 4 mm too wide, meaning 1/3 mm has to come off each hub. But the ring on each is only 0.3 mm thick, so that’s a no-go …
I then looked at, and measured in, a drawing in Steve Zaloga’s old Military Modelling article in which he builds this combination in 1:76 scale, and I found that the Bold Division arms are about 2 mm too narrow, altogether. That means that adding another millimetre on each side isn’t that big a deal, so I glued 2 mm plastic card to both sides, after sawing off the square locating pen that was there.
When the glue had dried, I cut them to roughly match the set’s parts:
I still need to file these down to be seamless, but it was getting too hot in my modelling room
