Thanks Mr Painless. It was a very welcome distraction from the Holidays! Will be finishing the wiring today and hope to post some better photos and a video. The sponson 75mm is a real treat to see recoil and flash
Tanks alot.... :wave:

A few more finishing touches and it's about done.

As always thank you for looking

Very nice, and very different to my Haya version (which just needs some transfers).

If you weren't aware the little hole centre-rear is to wind up the engine, and they tend to be chipped all around as getting the handles in isn't easy (the one on my Land Rover is a very dinged). And before anyone else comments, yes, it's a prototype clockwork tank..... :D

Seem to be faring this ungodly cold better than me, my basement hobby area has been impossible to work in with our extreme CT weather!

The Lee is improving, liking the video a lot. I'll re-watch with sound after work today!
