That track tensioning idea is definitely useful. I assume you'll be taking them off again to paint them?

Hi,the going is slow but little bits are getting done🙄

inside of the lid,

Most of the top done,

just a quick question,with the bowman antenna base is the spring a permanent fixture without the whip in it?

 

cheers

Looking good in green. Are you going to fit the second parts of the motor hatches or leave them as is?

 

      Stay safe            Roger

Thanks Roger, the mortar hatch will have the other half fitted, all the rest of the fittings should go on in the next couple of days OIC household permitting 🙄😀
