It's a good rule to follow Gary when it comes to PE...only use what makes the build better, not just because it's on the fret. |

I still tape the leading edges, but i luv it for making. Gary |

Didn't know if the tiny loop you would put a pad lock through was part of the PE or not! Top latch lays right over it ususally. No biggy though, it looking might fine Sir!!! |

No biggy though, it looking might fine Sir!!! The wee latches on the rear turret bin are the PE parts. They are smaller than the hinges but were easy to place. Those hinges though!  Not so easy! |

Supa dupa clean build Gary. I love those initial Tigers in Africa, and this is a great depiction of one. Desert base can be so sexy... Andy, spend a week with me and then see if you call the desert "sexy"  G |
