In between decalling my Lightning I've dug this out of the Three Boxes of Doom as my third entry. Reference from the excellent walk round HERE. I accidentally deleted the 'as found' photo but it would have been a sorrier sight. While waiting for decal solutions to dry I've moved the project on a bit by; Realigning the suspension so the tracks are parallel, vertical and match left to right. Realising the mistake was likely the reason it entered the Boxes of Doom. Using the Hauler etched grill set for the Tamiya kit I replaced the engine cover grills so the lovely detail beneath can be seen. It's a perfect fit on the HB kit BTW. The transmission grill cover is recovered from a recycled Tamiya kit. The mudguards are Hauler as well. I put them on then realised that they were too perfect. Off they came to be refitted slightly misaligned as just about every photo showed them to be. As moulded the engine covers fit too far forward. Removing 0.5mm from the top edge of the flange on the central section of the hull top combined with removing the locating pegs and the added lump inside the cover front edges meant it all fits as it should. The side covers should align with the transverse panel line at the rear of the fighting compartment, not be about 1.0mm in front of it.... Forwards Fraternal Socialist Comrades!
