The Gallery photos are really inspiring! Mark's work is very impressive and it great to see the real tank being replicated.
Now, has Gill got her sewing machine out to help design the mantlets canvas cover?
Good work!

Glad you liked the Photos Steve, however sorry I am afraid I definitely do not do 'sewing'!!

On a serious note will the kit include the cover, or will a pattern be provided making one, or is this an item where the space will need to be watched?

Wow beautiful! Really cool to see it all come together. I love the mantlet and turret front. Nice work Mark and Gill.

Hi Steve
We are sure that someone with the appropriate skills from within this forum will take up the challenge of offering a cover for those that will want one.

The model is now complete except for tracks (which arrived today) and the numerous detail parts from Dave Dibb at Armorpax.
Mark has now started to fit the motors and we hope to have shots of the tank in action soon. I do need to borrow him for a few days though to help me with packing the Tiger 1,s which are nearly ready. See Tiger 1 thread.
