All you members are a wealth of information and much appreciated.   Flattery won't get you anywhere - we want pictures!  As far as useful info goes I'm a pauper, use less information on the other hand... |

Your to humble Dierk! I needed a good laugh before going to work.  BTW....I started cleaning up the guide horns last night.Have to say the optivisors and sprue cutters were a great investment.Held the parts with a clothes pin and a little scrape with the #11 blade and done. |

Morning guys,after 3 tedious hours of clean up and a trip upstairs to the infirmary for a bandage the links and guide horns are now ready for assembly! Should start gluing on the horns in a bit after I get the feeling back in my fingers.   Thanks for looking. |

Good start on the links Leon! Styrene indy links are the one aspect of armour modelling I really hate - the main reason I got hooked on Friuls I suppose.

Thank you Dierk! I really would like to have Friuls for this. |

There not to bad Dupes! A little hard on the eyes even with the optivisors, but there going together ok. I may have a slight problem as I glued the hulls together  .Hope I can slide the top run under the fenders and over the return rollers when it's time to put them on. |

Evening guys! Finished up link and horns this morning and got 2 runs of 30 links glued up this afternoon.I still may need to add 1 or 2 more links but i'll wait till the sprock and idler links are done.Everything is going good so far.   Thanks for looking,as always ACW. |

Todd,you got that right my friend! I thought I might have a problem getting the top run on with the hulls already glued together so i test fit the return rollers and i'm able to slip the tracks over them.Need to at least get the hull and wheels primed and painted so i can keep moving along. |

Making good progress Leon, one link at a time, slow and steady! |
