Ian, Pete, cheers chaps . Ian, that is one of the oldest tricks in the book, drill the hole out larger than the original and then use stretched sprue to fill them . Pete, you're probably right and that will be the direction I'll go

Nice touch on the hatch, Paul! Efficient way to get those points on the hull filled, too.

Cheers mushtys . Been fiddling with a few more "knocky off" bits, as Steve would say . New handles for the driver/radio operator hatches, optic guards are from Schumo kits, RB .30 barrel and I reworked the thread cover of the 76mm. The original kit cover was wrong, too long and too wide, so I made new one for it .

Great little items such as the optic guards make a difference, on your way to another amazing model brotha P.

Okay chaps, the loudspeaker is in place and few other bits too . Firstly I added the spare track links, it was then it clicked how to mount the speaker . I made a bracket from double folded scotch bottle foil and glued this to the speaker, then I fixed it to one of the track links. After that came the wiring, this was added to the bottom of the speaker and fed into spent case turret side hatch. I did try to deform the speaker with hot water, but I couldn't get a satisfactory look. So I dipped in very hot water again and did the memory thing and went back to its original shape.
