Thanks fellas sorry for the lack of updates, and indeed progress! But that said I did manage a little, must get my arse into gear! The lower parts of the tractor started to get some love  And the Eduard removeable panels for the engine compartment were put together and put aside ready for paint.  Not much, but hopefully this week should see a little more. |

Very nice Vlad. Excellent start.  The tracks seen in a pic posted earlier look like M26 tracks to me. Not a field mod as uncommon as you might think. |

Thanks for the kind words fellas and sorry not checked in recently, struggled some this week! But not all doom and gloom, progess!! So I started cleaning up the vinyl tires........ not the easiest task, but I has a way, it involves an emery nail board and squeezing the tire to pronounce the seam, then rub for England   I then cracked on with the rear suspension drive gear etc etc etc  Seem to have lost partial focus there, soz about that. Then I took it all apart, which should make painting easier.  Next up was detailing the lower cab areas, I have left the jerry cans out as these would have been removed to allow access to the engine.   So that's now ready for some paint, so swiftly moving onto the upper cab and rear cab wall, plenty of pin marks  I'm not sure some of the Eduard set is actually worthwhile using here, lots of work for very little return. Jerry can replaced by one from Tasca, far better!  ACW |
