This is a pretty tricky decision you're about to make Vladbro, if you're not sure of the transparent version I'd say just go for the regular one, there's no shame in it.

Robbo, good to have you along matey trawling through google for reference shots I came across this build........... still not convinced, it kinda looks messy? Check me out!Hmmmm..........maybe cancel the TETC idea then Things is.......photography does emphasise every blemish as you can see it`s picking up tiny particles in the glazing that probably ain`t visible to the naked eye, this makes it look worse than it probably is in fairness , the tricky part is weathering........dirty or clean!! , if ya go with a weathered vehicle ya`ll have to do the glazing somewhat otherwise it might look a bit odd..........if ya go clean like a show piece i`d dip the glazing in future so`s ya can see everything inside nice and clearly.......just a thought If not ya can still have some panels open etc so`s you`ll still see somat bud

I'm not sold on the painted clear parts either. A tough decision for sure, Vlad.

Well that's a decision made, thanks for the sage words chaps, I wasn't planning on using the clear, but with the excitement it generated I had to explore the options. And the option was that it sucks! So if Dicky wants the clear for a see through Humber negligee, although you would have to scratch the rest of it .

I believe that you have made a wise decision Vlad . The normal version is gonna be trying enuff, with mega small and high parts count coming along. I remember my MkII only too well .

PaulB, you definitely have to be in the right head space and approach it correctly.
Ssmudge, thanks fella, and good to have you along.

First off I must apologise for my pictures, not the best quality, but I am trying to improve them. So this afternoons progress was this........... Pretty much wraps up the lower drivers area, for the keen eyed amongst you will see that most of the parts are now hidden but we know they are there eh

Aye, the transparent parts are a double edged sword methinks - the AFV see-through T34's were a good example - none of the parts designed to attach to the transparent hull and turret parts had backs so a LOT of extra work would have been involved in modifying them for use.
All in all I think see through bits are a bit of a novelty.....fact of the matter is, if yer wann a show off yer internals the only way is 'oles!

keeping the pace, another update leaf springs, axles, drive shafts and exhaust, its growing quite fast considering the amount of tiny parts so far. More later hopefully. How are the pictures BTW? trying different settings on the old picture box and then messing them up with software

Now, that's great progress, Vlad. As far as your pictures go, they look fine to me.
