Working on the main units, a lot of painting and ropey scratch building, having fun with this great model,which has a lot of artistic licence applied,its for my pleasure and isn't a replica or a competition piece, its amazing what bits and pieces you can find in the spares box to add on, bits of Dymo tape,rubber tubinig, 1/35 scale afv parts ( the oxygen regulators on the harnesses are, tank wheel centers and the buckles are snow cleats for a Sherman tank) ????????????, cab stlll not closed up yet(temp for photos), more to do, the fun continues

The blue straps etc are taken fro this photo !!

Been doing another bit, both units now on the chassis,lighting checked,a few more lights to fit,I will solder all the wires for a good contact, before closing all up, I have left off any thing that can be damaged with my clumsy fingers until the end, doors and wing mirrors,glazing etc, next step is detail painting and finishing, have started polishing with a drop of good car wax giving a great finnish. Also all the equipment needs to be done and fitted. This project is for my own pleasure with a few additions that don't represent the real thing, having trawelled the net there are many different variations, including the addition of a flashing blue on the telescopic flood light.
