I have spent they day on the terrace clearing out the remaining beer before I go home. Other t34 builders will be so envious of your ammo rounds. A lot of effort there.

Thanks very much Paul :D
The Turret roof was such a good fit as supplied that I decided a while ago
That I wouldnt need the screws and I was carefull with the welds round the edge.
Yet to be tested but I might not even need a mild magnet,so will come off easy to
show the interior once the crew bail out.
Cheers
Phil
