Cheers Ian, and I hope you enjoy the ride . Here's a tad more, joined up the turret. I needed a lot of persuasion to get the mantlet to fit, and it still needs some work. But that shouldn't be too much of a pain now .    |

Thanks for the comments chaps and welcome to the late arrivals Ian, yes this will be a Korean War vehicle Pete, haven't decided yet on which type, most early vehicles only have a 1/4 of the mantlet covered, and many didn't have anything and only a very few with the full cover. Boots, you be right there ole chap, but it is plastic . Good ole 1994 DML plstic . Todays fiddlings are the tracks . Now as much as I love Frillies, these are a real PITA  . This type is different to the usual Friul track, you don't drill one side and add one pin all the way through, no you drill both sides and a 2 mini pins  . Not only that, you have 2 types of link also, one for the curve of the sprocket and idler the other for the rest of the track  . Anyway, after 5 hours I have one side done .   |

You know me by now, if I can find an odd kit I bloody well will . I have heard of the "odd Friuls" before and now I know about them , I just checked my Frillie stash and yes I have another odd set in there...... ATL 65, Centurion, with those you add the pin and then plug the hole with very small end connector  . |

I’m even more impressed by someone who has a frillie stash. |

Wow! Five hours on one set of tracks! I commend you Sir! That is another reason I am thrilled to only build 1/72 scale armor.
