Ok............usual Grey stuff slung around, that was fun gettin` in all the nooks and cranny's Confession time..........last night i saw one of the headlight lenses launch itself off the bench onto the carpet, i saw where roughly it landed but can i find it.....can i ferk!!!!!!!!!, i even put the other on the carpet to see if it was easy enough to spot and it stuck out like a diamond in a goats arse.......why the feck i can`t find the other is beyond me ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ............because they had a slight molded rim on them i couldn`t just stick a flat lens in.....so i have scratched some headlight bezels and i will insert some AM lenses once painting is done..........it`ll pass off ok coz the front armour sits over it ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) All the parts primed..
![](https://i.ibb.co/74m7Djq/DSC02738-2.jpg)
I`ll let this marinade for a few hours now ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ..............then pre-shade and then base-coat
Cheers folks

Lovely smoooooove greyage Boots ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Bummer about the lens, get the hoover out and put a sock over the end of the suction tube. That will catch everything on and in the carpet, it works I have done a few times ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Just make sure the air is clear beforehand, if not you might end up with a household job forever ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Cheers matey ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , yeah i`ve heard about the sock over the hoover but i reckon it`s gone down behind my bench possibly coz you would see it easily on the dark carpet..........don`t matter now anyway ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Okay cool. Thanks!
Jeff, if you want to see how those Dual Russian tractors look going together, feel free to check out my Thread. I got them going now.
Boots, sorry bout the headlight. It sounds like you got it sorted quickly and efficiently already. Looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers Mark......yeah all sorted fella but i found a nasty seam on the showing side of the air cleaner.......the primer told tales ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) , instead of trying to fill/sand the piece without damaging it i will scratch a thin armoured plate around it a bit like the gun truck........i might stick some around the hydraulic tank as well just for artistic license........call it a field mod ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
