Thank you all very much for your posts of approval, i hope it gives some interest and enjoyment, i also enjoy watching other builds at whatever level is achieved, i Have been making the front hood fasteners using 10 ba wing nuts, its a superb fit and i thank Michael Matata, regards simon.

A slight departure from the hood fitting, The wooden jerry can pallet and the start of the jerry can painting, i thought i would go for a mix of colors rather than the usual Grey and Beige look, all for now, regards simon.

Thank you Michael, Frank, I am on the Home straight now to Finish, i can see the end in sight, not that these things are ever completed, the hood needs a little adjusting and some small jobs, Happy new year, simon.

not much to report on with the build, Started to fit the Rifles and work on the stowage compartments, regards simon.

Looking through this construction report again and again, it is always a great pleasure to discover the many delicate details that can be found in the equipment and in the absolutely unique weathering of the model.
One can literally feel the joy and passion that went into the build of this beautiful model. Absolutely amazing!

Many thanks for this inspiring build log.
Oliver

Thank you Oliver that's very Generous to say that, i am pleased you like the 7, Here's the last job completed, stowage compartments, more work than i first thought, regards simon.

I Have been trying to get together some convincing looking stowage, it's not part of a build I've considered before but does require some attention, Looking at some Archive photo's the 7s were loaded to capacity, progress so far, regards simon.

Superb model Simon. Probably the most realistic weathering I have ever seen! It is truly a work of art!
