Thanks, Gents. Yeah Boots, I know Todd. Actually lives about 2 1/2 hours south of me. Anyway, have been picking on this in small bits and have gotten some stuff done.
Turret stuff mostly.
Onwards and sideways.

Jogs the memory this one. Helped a friend out at the original War & Peace Show many moons ago and got a ride on the first privately owned Leo in the UK. When asked what I thought about it I said only thing that could beat it would be to drive it. The owner let me give it four or five laps around the show area.........what fun that was. That's me and my son on top. He is in his early 30's now Tim

Plodding along.
I was dreading the rear Turret basket and the add on armor and although very fiddly, I took my time ( even more so than usual) and things went well. Mengs idea of molding the basket rungs as one piece sections worked out well. Basically, you cut the section off the sprue,place and glue it, let the glue dry, cut the spacers out and, Bob's yer Uncle.
So the Turret is done and waiting for primer/paint.
And now I have a question. I opted to use the cleats on the tracks. See below.
When mounted, should the cleats be on the outboard or inboard side of the tracks?
More as I can.

Lovely jubbly Jeff . As for the cleats question I'd say they would be alternate . I'll get a mail off to the Tank Museum Munster, hopefully they'll answer fast and I'll let you know what they say
