Joe , you sure are doing a mighty fine assembly of the details and the look of the weathering has a good feel to it .  |

Very impressive work here Joe! Agree with the others on the level of detail you've produced on the throttle and seat.

you are all very kind. here are a couple of shots i didnt get before. they show the, now attached, belts and the spring handle for repositioning the seat.    the end of the belt that attaches to the seat is three pieces, the belt itself is two, the other end is one. i have never done well with belts. i dont do very well with them at all. joe |

Joe! Don't sweat it! I've been at the t-72 for 7 months now, and it is not half as detailed than your build! If you are slow I am traveling backward in time my friend   This build rocks Joe! Keep at it |

phil many thanks. just seems like it is taking forever. used to much quicker work. of course none of them have the detail attempts like this.
spent some time in the bunker last night and made some progress. hopefully an update this weekend.

well it isnt much but it was time consuming. trying to get the pit done. want to get it finished so i can try something different than anything i have done on the engine. to that extent first up was a small assembly on the starboard side.  with that done and the throttle rods attached all that is needed is the ip work. so i wanted to see what it looked like in place.    now up to this point all of seven kit pieces have been used. with that being said from this point on in the interior will be mainly kit pieces. there will be details thrown in here and there but for the most it will be kit pieces. now for the ip. there are four kit pieces. they lack somewhat in the detail so i enhanced it a bit.    i got this together and thought wow i can move on......not so fast....... all the wiring for the ip will be seen. ok. next session will be to fashion the back of the panel and add some wiring. many thanks to all who have followed along to this point. i hope i havent bored you too much. all comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

Nice progress Joe! Pit's coming together slowly but surely, the added wiring for the IP will really make it stand out...just remember, never cut the red wire (or is it the blue one?)... |
