Hi Phil
Thank you for the addional information. So I can check the availability of suitable batteries in Switzerland. Also a good idea to check the whole electrical installations before mounting in the tank! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Take care.
Peter

C Hooks fitted.
Does anyone know if the crews would ever have put the top C hook onto the clamps
the way I have them?
I checked the width for fit but not to see if the top one had enough clearance to
fit the opposite way up :oops:
I haven't found a photo yet.

Thanks Paul :D
Yes I have been thinking about them and going onto something else :)
Would have been easier to do them when I had the scopes flat.
I will practice on something else with tweasers first
Cheers
Phil

Still more wiring Turret and painting to do.
Nice to see the tracks go round and the sounds though.
Made the most of the sun this afternoon and sat out on the patio reading my
Tank books.
