Hi all

19 Sept early morning update ...

OK the CrARRV is based on the challenger 1 chassis .. and there are some difference ..as you can see from the pics below the hull sides are higher than the gun tank ! What a head ache as it means
more or less a new hull top as you see the only part left really is the centre of the engine deck

I was thinking the construction if the hull sold be a simple matter .,as so far it seems to be ..
as always measure several times ..cut ..test fit ... correct ... glue ... sometimes that works ..

Hope to get a bit more done today ?

Pic time

Thanks Herman

It's the detailing that will be the devil ... and I've still got loads of large components to make up yet ..
