The weather piece is printing beautifully and the detail to the cupola continues

Just a little done on the cent today

Why do I have a feeling that the outside diameter of that ring should be less?

I reckon about 1 to 1.5 mm which I will remove with every paper should do it. You have a good eye Vince

Well, if you want a revised drawing all I need to do is enter the new OD.

Go for it Vince !

While I think of it Vince the id could do with being adjusted as well to 1 mm bigger , then there's less to remove when fitting as it was a little tight.

The original diameters were ID=132mm and OD=175mm.
What do you want the new ones to be?

ID= 133 and OD 173.5 should be good thankyou.

New file sent by email.

Luckily it was a simple model so going back and changing a couple of dimensions did not create problems.

Will be watching your headlamp adaptation with interest Phil - getting them from 18mm to 29/30mm? They’re a detail still missing on my Mk 11.
Keep up the great work

Hi Kevin, I may have to use my clear uv cured resin on the lenses and new turned ali bezels and bowls, there's always a way round such a problem, Mr Dawe is researching as we speak and has contacted the tank museum's archive facility as we want to get this right.

The turret cupola is now done, there's a few issues with the loaders hatch but we will sort it.

Whilst waiting for the Tank Museum to send Mr Dawe the relevant information regarding the head lights and the turret layout I've started to replicate the cast turret texture.
