Looks good Dave, simon.

Thanks Simon, I've set myself a goal to get this on its tracks in the next week or so.

Some progress.

More milliput welds applied before the red oxide

Mike Stannard track hangers fitted and previously fitted Steve winstone jacking block aligned to a more accurate position

Enjoyed laying down some red oxide with my airbrush- practice makes better

The rear deck was the last piece to disassemble and clean, the usual rust and thick paint kept me busy.

Steel deck after a good few hours back in a primer

Grills got the cast texture and (Small grills) modified

Line cut in to simulate two pcs section

Assemble with 8ba fasteners and Mike stannard lock taps, some bolts that hold the cast grills in place have been countersunk (these will be filled later) to achieve closer to the real tank bolt configuration

Steve Winstone gun cleaning tube and Mike's Grills temporarily placed to get an idea of how its going to look.

Cheers

Small job today, added some fasteners to the forward section of the deck

The front mudguards are slightly to long /should be level with the vertical edge ...a fare amount of work to correct as bolts (outside edge) will also need realignment/ holes soldered up ....is it worth doing?

Cheers
