Any progress is good progress Ian! It means you're moving forward regardless of the pace.  PE boxes are looking good so far, will look even better once you attach their little fixtures. Eduard sets are very forgiving in that regard as opposed to say Aber or Voyager... |

Commited to tackling the PE tiny bits by cleaning off the moulded on detail so theres no going back now Here is a before and after shot  The rear bin before fixing  Started to take shape now   |

Notice the drivers periscope the original was missing from the box but easy to knock up a new on as the front is replaced by the PE bit, sorted The cover on the rear bin is not fixed as it looks rather poo and will probably be replaced later Ta for looking chaps and tell the truth please, I'd rather you tell me it's pants so I can put things right at this time in the build, |

Nice progress Ian. Agree with the Nemo-meister about the bin cover...some things just don't represent well in plastic and that type of cover is usually one of them.

Great job on this tank, Robbo. I'm with the guys above, sometimes molded tissue looks right, but this time isn't one of them...

So you want the truth? Sure you can handle it? Seriously though its looking good my friend!  With all the extra detail you are adding mate it would be a shame not to go the extra yard on the bin tarp. There is a nice Tarpaulin SBS posted recently worth having a look at.

Just done a bit of tinkering, when I build I sort of jump around all over the destruction so I'm doing a bit of catch up on the little bits I've not done yet  Getting a bit delicate to handle now |
