Boots, Pete, cheers chaps ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Didn't do any welds today, instead I got one track on ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . The Hobby Boss tracks are showing their age now, the links without the guide horn are as rough as a badgers arse ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . But with a little clean up they work out okay, the clean up took me about an hour for one side ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/7924/47608139521_53ccd977ec_c.jpg) The good thing is the way they hang on the suspension, the down side is painting in situ ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Jeff, Boots, Marco, merci vielen much fellows ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . 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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Anyway, not satisfied I added the last little twists from my side ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46913900314_5b37e0ec0e_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40671647583_627a73a73d_c.jpg) Tomorrow will defo bring primer, more then fine Sires
