Once again thanks for all the help guys sort of done what I needed to do. I made a bracket for the horn with a loose cable. I also discovered I had omitted to add some key parts there now on.
Dave I will post pics later this week I have gone for a plain black base ,but it fits well

Well this is almost done just working on the 2 figures I have added a further recognition symbol my crew wanna be on the safe side.
I thought it important to make this a street fighting dusty job but retain the colour of the soviet green.

.I liked the red and white planks as apposed to logs but I thought I would go one better on the colour front added a air recognition flag then put the planks on top.

Mac,

A bit late and not the same but I recently built a JS 3 and on the references which I found for that the horn and light were wired to a disc (ceramic/bakelite?) set on the glacis plate at a point equally between the two. A thicker wire/trunking then went up the plate and under the turret.

A poor photo taken with my phone.

Thanks Tony I made the bracket for the horn but left the horn off in the end ive gone for the its been ripped off, I have seen other modellers do JSII wires but no close up real ref the pictures above that were sent in show the lights on the other side with some cable but hard to work out the route.

Beautiful work as always Mac!! Love the boards and flag!! Nicely done!!

[bullardino]

Magnificent job, Mac.

I really love the way the flag is folded, together with the idea of putting the planks on it.

Where does the bucket come from?

[macmcconnell]

Thanks T glade you like it.

Luigi Thanks for always following buckets from the plus model range I am using their stuff more and more. Its funny because I keep finding strange little items on other modellers work that I thought was scratch built infact are done by plus model.

This thing is going to win you a lot of hardware buddy.This and I am not just saying it to be kind but this is awsome. Stunning

Can only imagine how it will look in a dio setting, it's already a fine piece of work all by itself! The flag and planks are a nice touch Mac, definitely will make it stand out even more.

Andy and Bill thanks for the support never falls on death ears always appreciated.
