Hi Steve,
Two filler caps on the engine deck looks as the genuine parts.

Almost there.
The first of 2 Elefant builds is now nearing the end, electrics all sorted and just the final bits and pieces to complete.
Must say I do like the twin engine start sound supplied with the sound module.

Mate, that looks sooo good. You can also have a father and son picture like the one Armortek took at the tank museum recently 
.
Or maybe take yours to the tank museum and you can have grandfather, father and son !!
Have you got it running yet ?

Hi Nik
The Elefant is a big impressive kit and will look great when running. I have tested the electrics in this one and everything works fine including the drive motors I just have not run it on the ground yet.

Any finished pictures of the Elephants? Perhaps outside? I always enjoy your finished outside images.

Hi Robert
Unfortunately I did not get chance to get any shots outside as the weather was very bad and I needed to get both tanks to the packers.

- This is about the best shot of one of the almost complete Elefants
- And packed in a custom made case for shipping

Steve, hope you don't mind but I'm looking for a bit of advice.
I have just finished building the lower hull, all looks good except I have a gap between CR102 Upper Front plate and CR104 Hull Plate (see photo). Did you encounter this or have I simply run out of talent and got something upside down or back to front?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.
Dave

Hi Dave,
I think this gap is there for every builder. Mine has got it. I simply fill it with car filler. Photos will be shown later.

Hi Chang
Thanks for the feedback. Out with the Milliput it is then. I'll fill the gap when I do the weld detail. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't done anything daft before I moved on too far.
Cheers!
Dave.
