Dads203 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Cheers guys, really appreciate the comments and likes chaps 1 hour ago, Bullbasket said: Excellent work Dan. That torch looks the same as the ones that we had (providing it was green). John. They are similar John but the US issued Right angled torches were far better quality than our issued copies. I still have one of the US torches but it’s black and yellow. I liberated it from the Dutch Airforce a while ago Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Spent the last hour making a fire extinguisher for the inside of the troop compartment. Turned up in my Dremel (badly) from plastic rod, added the plumbing bits n pieces and the valve, will get plumbed in properly with lead wire. The PE Bracket Enjoy Dan 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Cheers Roger, I must be mad ! I've made another fire extinguisher for behind the back door, this one isn't a fixed extinguisher but a hand held, still need to scratch up the mount yet. It lives over the battery box I never thought I'd go as far as I have with this build, but why the hell not Regards Dan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Next up will be to add the anti slip on the rear ramp, Using this stuff and its brilliant, shame its long OOP, I've used this stuff before and its so easy to use, believe it or not this pack is brand new, never used. It was bought a long time ago so I hope the glue is still good. Regards Dan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to add the bottom to it yet but dropped in a flashlight just to test. Difficult to get the camera to focus on it And flashlight in the holder - what can you say about Dan's attention to detail 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Cheers All, A bit more done tonight, more detail on the fuel tank, I think its the structure that holds the tank in place. And in place in the hull, Night periscope mount is also in place now. Cheers for looking in Regards Dan 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Once again a big thanks for all the likes and comments, So tonight's work involves the engine bay and wiring, added the electrical services connections from the drivers compartment to the pack bay. Cables to be added later Added the bracket for the rear door cable. Needs cleaning up a bit but I have to wait for the glue to dry properly. More later chaps Dan 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the stand that the M113 sitting on in this picture a new "shiny thing" ? Funny enough Richard, I bought it last year at Telford from RP Toolz and haven't had a chance to use it. Its really good and makes the build a bit easier. I think it was £15 or close to that. Regards Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 More progress today, Just roughing out where everything will go and planning how I'm going to paint the interior. First part of the throttle linkage added, just underneath the drive shaft and steering box. And the radio shelf parts cut out, this will go in today Cabling will go underneath the radio, I think I need to scratch up another unit that sits next to the radio?
