Thanks

I'll start doing parts when I'm getting the best out of the printer I'm completely happy with the results.

Just noticed I've missed the fire extinguishers off the firefly - (job for tonight).

What you are putting out now looks great Woz...plastic always needs some attention... so for modellers not to much of a burden ...so maybe after that fire extinguisher... how about trying a three piece transmission cover for a Sherman / Lee :haha: :haha: :haha:

pS ... I could use a few of those should you succeed ;)

@ PainlessWolf - lol, guess the people who design these things aren't tankers.

@ ALPHA - Oh I don't know it looks a bit different to the M4 ones, may have to change a line or two of coding. And that list of yours is getting pretty long.
