There was a discussion regarding the exhaust a while ago. It is quite clear in your drawing.

Hi Chris,
the exhaust is in the near of the 5th road wheel. Here comes a photo from the under side of an Elefant how you don't see normally.
Also good to see all the covers in there place - if available.

Hi Rolf,
thank you for your: Lecker
Here are the next photos of the bottom plates and the camfered bolts for the first big plate. The holders for the joints of the road wheels on each side looks slowly like the origin ones. There has to be made some egalizing and weldings with Milliput.

Hi Marco,
thank you for the nice comment. Here are some more progress on the hull with some Milliput for the bearings of the Road wheels.
After this there are the first impressions of the tow hooks with some additional sheets and the first welding seams.
