Cheers Ian . Today was an interesting day of multiple bits . The tracks have been added, but they are really bad, the join (which I have carefully avoided in the picture) is terrible. So these will stay on there until I can find Frillies at a respectable price. The turret was given the filter treatment after I had resprayed the mantlet covers, and I have started getting some oil fabricationing on these. Last but not least, I have primed the basket stowage. Yes the bags are from Red Zebra, the ammo cans are from Academy and the fuel cans are from.... no feckin idea .

I posted, blinked and another update! Sorry to hear about the track joint. However, the model looks excellent and great to see some Red Zebra Stowage in the mix.

Looks very good, Paul. The mantlet cover looks very realistic.

Ian, Joe, Bert, cheers chaps . Well after adding the stowage, the antenna with flag, the MG barrels, jerry cans, 50cal ammo cans and a light dusting, I now call her done . Well at least until I can find good AM tracks . Thanks for watching me build this at snail speed , as always any comments or critique are welcome

THat looks great, how did you get that wrinkle in the flag? I useally glue it on a bit of tinfoil.. Do you plan to place this one into a bit of more natural environment once you get AM tracks?

Cheers muchly Bert . The flag is from FC Model trend, you get 25 of them in different sizes, printed on paper. I used PVA glue thinned with water, and then fixed it to the antenna. After about 2-3minutes I was able to fold or shape the flag so that it remained in that position

Snail speed or not, it looks great. Another one for the gallery Paul. Will you make a diorama to put it on?
