That looks amazing, way to go! I wonder though, are there really weld beads on these? I've never seen any on pics of modern vehicles before, but then again, I wasn't looking for weld beads so I might not have noticed them.

Indeed there are welds although they are very subtle and neat. My ones will get a swipe of mr surfacer later to tone them down. The build has moved onto the final details & gun assembly now. Some wiring for the lights, the tow rope & antenna sorted and the gun built up. Some extras added here and there on the mounting and some very careful clean up of the barrel too. Not much left to do as well.

Beautiful job again!!

Everything else is looking great too! I'm amazed at how clean your attachments are.

Thanks chaps, well the build phase is now complete. One thing to note is that the flexible ammo chute is way too long so trimming it down makes for a more realistic appearance. The M60 machine gun is a cracker as well.
