Hi All,

A little more work on the crew figures. Also started work on the improvised glacis stowage retainer seen on a number of post D-Day carriers.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Vehicle Commander clothing now tacked and glued where necessary. 'orrible Tan tank suit painted to look like a denim one and brass rounds and cleaning rod etc. added to shortened tank holster. Couple of buttons added to the pockets and open neck of the BD. I have found the pose I will be using and he will be weathered later with everything else. Just the patches and shoulder flashes to fit which are on the way.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Finally got round to clearing my photo area. It got very cluttered over the last year. The Carrier is now ready for final weathering so took a set of clean pics first.

Best regards

Dave
