Boots, Pete, cheers chaps  . Didn't do any welds today, instead I got one track on  . The Hobby Boss tracks are showing their age now, the links without the guide horn are as rough as a badgers arse  . But with a little clean up they work out okay, the clean up took me about an hour for one side .  The good thing is the way they hang on the suspension, the down side is painting in situ |

Jeff, Boots, Marco, merci vielen much fellows . Marco, I have always said these old Italeri kits a good and I'll stick too that. Even after all the changes I have made, the base kit is darned good, if you want to build an Elephant that is . Anyway, not satisfied I added the last little twists from my side . These include some missing welds, the tow ropes as they should be, the gun cleaning rod tube and a flat area in front of the driver/operators positions .   Tomorrow will defo bring primer, more then fine Sires |
