Nice progress!

Thanks for posting Dale.

Spotted one minor thing... :oops:
Please tell Peter to change the red color on the extinguisher to grey or yellow.
The rare red ones were never seen stored outside the tank.

Hi Peter
The yellow is the same as the base colour of the tanks after 43
which is xf 60 tamiya dark yellow its best to add a bit of white just
to tone it back a bit.

Regards

Derek

Hi All, A quick update,all finished except numbers/insignia ,have LED'd the main gun,drilled the barrel,Led'd the machine gun in sinc with sound system,one speaker in a speaker box seems enough sound,wired the front lights after modifing to take grain of wheat bulbs wired in series to take 24v,also a good external indicator when power is on,have to be very carefull when giving demos of the sound and light show whilst it is on the hydraulic table not to give any forward or reverse stick,maybe an isolation switch in the system to cut out the motors?
cheers
Peter
