Work starts with the road wheels - nice details on these, with separate tyres

Today's fiddling - first glued the wheels in place. I wasn't going to do this, but the idler wheels are quite a sloppy fit so I glued everything in place first.

Then onwards with the tracks - started with the left side. 95 links per side for the individual links

Then make up sections gluing them, then while the glue is still soft mold into place. Leave the halves disconnected so that I can remove the tracks for painting.

Today's work - started by assembling all the 'furnature' for the turret

Then Trumpeter's attempt at a 50 cal - it's not bad, but i've been spoilt with the Tasca ones :-)

Then the Basic T-62 turret - pretty clean before the IDF got hold of it, and welded everything in the universe onto it.

Then after the welding, the turret looks like this

All finished apart from a couple of 30 cals to add next weekend. I half expect at some point the IDF have added a kitchen sink to one of their vehicles.

Today's work on the Tiran - first added the extra MG's, 2 30cals and 1 50 cal.

Then primed with Alclad Grey Primer

On with the Ammo IDF Sand Grey, thinned slightly with AK Nitro thinner and it sprayed nicely

Then picked out the details - MG's, spare Tracks, tow cables etc.

Finally for the day a coat of Klear over the top, so it's ready for decals tomorrow
