Yeah i reckon i might scrape thu Jeff ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Ok...........only a small uppy date as i`ve been a bit busy today but i might push on this evening ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
The usual rear deck stuff added such as rear deck screens x3, the filler caps/vents, barrel lock and lifting lugs etc and lovely glue mark included (albeit very faint now) ![](https://i.ibb.co/XLq84VD/IMG-20240511-193516522.jpg)
The light guards front and rear will be next on the agenda and i`ve discoverd not only a jig for the front frames but also for the rear guards as well

The jig is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) .............the etch is soooo springy it still needed some persuasion, i ended up gluing the jigs to a lolly stick coz you can`t hold the jig in ya fingers and bend the etch at the same time!!, i have got front and rear ones done tho and theyare acceptable i `spose ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Ok..........an evening of my fav.......NOT!! There`s quite a bit of etch in the kit so i thought i`d crack on with a bit more of the stuff, front/rear light guards ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) , some small stuff on the rear deck ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) , some more of the stuff on the rear ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) and still more bits to add on the turret ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) .... when i get that far............apart from that all good ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)
