A very busy day in the tank shop.

Lovely stuff Phil. Every day brings more detail!

You can find em in the sky and on the ground! Really nice details on Lewis and searchlight! Great work. Looks like it would be a squeeze to fit in that thing - so much fun in 120 F heat.
Very cool rig.

A pleasant afternoon spent in the workshop, the rear grab handles made and fitted, the semaphore flag racks made and fitted to the turret and pre weathering paint applied.

Phil, the rear boarding handles and the rack for the signalling flags looks great.

Lots done.

Working in and around the pointy end.
Now a question for the boss, Tigris had just two bonnet top catches, not three. Should I remove the middle one to make it more correct?

Phil,

Accuracy is the name of the game so only two top hinges as that's what the photo shows.

I agree 100%! I also think that the top hinges are a bit too chunky so need reducing down a tad.

Nearing completion, the stowage starts tomorrow.

Yes definitely need to go, so a very small job for tomorrow.

Or move the stencil a little to the back.

You were right about that C being a G vince, Phil picked up on it to, the river Tigris!

Phil, those bolt heads will have to go Also the lettering is a bit undersize if you compare with the prototype vehicle in the photo. Maybe a 10% increase in size for starters?

No problem Phil, I will print a new stencil 10% larger. Yes those bolts are in the way and need to go, I have some tiny countersunk copper rivets which should do the trick!
