Hi chaps, here's a little more for you. I have added an .30 barrel from I think RB, but I ain't sure. Also I have added some mesh the intakes at the rear of the engine deck, also some grab handles and two pyrex fire extinguishers left over from a Churchill, including PE straps from StuG set. Also the optics have been added, these are also spares from a Churchill kit     More soon dudes |

Morning Paul,
Coming along nicely.
Does the conversion set come with Picture reference for part location or are you left to work it out yourself ?

Morning Si, there's an instruction sheet with the kit . But it does leave a few questions open  . For this vehicle pictures are very rare, there are 3 pics out on the internet and the same pics a magazine type pamphlet from Paul Roberts. Luckily I have some pictures of the Ram gun tank I took last year in Holland, those are paying off now |

I think I have now gotten the last bits in place. The tools were really tricky to remove from the casting blocks, but I think they are okay, only a priming coat will tell .   If it cools down a tad in the next day or two shall get some primer on the tank. In the meantime I shall tackle these little buggers  .  |

Hi chaps, well I looked at Vallejo rattle can Primer today and laughed it's balls of at me . The climate here is just too hot and muggy at the moment. But, I did spend 90 minutes and two pints on getting the tracks sorted     I should at least get these stained tomorrow, and then some paint on them soon |

Looking good Paul, Nice work getting the fruils on.....not used them myself but they do always look good. Glad you managed to get the tools off ok, resin can be super brittle sometimes! The tool clamps and tools themselves look nicely moulded too  |
