Hi Phil
That is coming along very nicely.
Will you have the folding deck panels working with servos and arms?

Thanks Maarten and Derek :D
No Derek I will leave it Manual with the latches fastened but it will
operate and stay horizontal.
It will be a bit crowded underneath as it is :)
Cheers
Phil

Following this thread with interest :D

There was a cargo '7' at TankFest last year, and I was quite taken with the cargo body on it, rather than the usual troop carrier:

Hi Phil
That looks so cool I am following your build closely.

I have been going through my boxes again and will start my
build I hope in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Derek :D
I have made the front infill bits for the joint between deck side and
body side which I can fit the front latches to,the rear ones will be on little plates.
have stripped down now and I am confident there is room for all modules to fit.
Just the positioning of the power supply for the start button to be thought out.
Cheers
Phil
