Hi All,

Got all the right hand sponson detail done including the ammo stowage rack for the 50 cal. Just the welds to add and then onto the internal detail above the drivers position.

Cheers

Dave

Hi fellas.
Wether or not you are into allied armor or not this has got to be the most detailed and most impressive model ever to have graced our forum, the attention to detail is second to none and a great credit to Dave.
Well done mate bravo keep going.

I agree with Paul. That is outstanding detail. A true marvel and credit to Dave's talent. The instrument panel is amazing and looks like the real thing, I expect to see the needle moving on the speedometer when tank is under power! Fantastic.

I've got to agree, a superbly detailed model. Surely that "dash is real? I can't wait to see it finished and running.

Hi All,

Welds added and right hand sponson primed. Paternity leave is over so back to the realities of earning a living tomorrow, probably won't get much more done now until the weekend.

Cheers

Dave

Best regards

Hi All,

Brackets for the barrel brush and extractor fitted to rear wall and stowage bin and I've started on the drivers side wall.

Cheers

Hi All,

Got the moulds made and cast the fire extinguishers and brackets, will get these mounted tomorrow and hopefully finish the interior around the drivers position. If so just the gun shield to do and the upperworks will be done.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Apart from a sight box to add to the brackets on the front wall thats the interior done. Not sure if I can face the gun shields yet so I might detail the bogeys next or start on the lower hull back plate.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Rear tail lights, brush guard welds and tow cable added.

I got the other track assembled as well so its finally sitting on full running gear.

Best regards

Dave
