The final pieces of the jigsaw arrived today from Ian (Tankbear - many thanks Ian for the rapid service !
)
The green bits are from Ian's recoil kit
fitgted into the barrel mount
and mounted in the turret
The clamps holding the pivot into the mounting can be seen here
So as the say in Yorkshire - 't'jobs a good un'
All ready for delivery on Sunday

Very exciting news today, I got a commission for a Mark 13 Centurion, so I'm going to be very busy updating component designs, I've already updated the rear deck as this was modified on the mark 7 and subsequent tanks to improve engine cooling

Making progress with the printing and assembling
The rear of the tank upper hull needed some redesign as it is quite different from the Mark 3
Lots more printing to do
