Also signing into a storage site has it's benefits than storing pics in your computer...Imgur was recommended to me after I had issues with Photobucket....they are a really good support outlet for you pics...

Re: t34/85
hi guys had to re-position the three hinges on the top rear engine deck as even with super glue they came undone,but the back two on the rear angled deck are still holding also made the louvers moveable using plastic rod & tubeing also found some better mesh like alphas so replaced that as well & added a hinge to the turret hatchso now have moveable commanders hatch,still waiting for new taigen recoil from w.d.m. as he is out of stock just now,added driver to open drivers hatch & commander to turret , then just need to add proportional smoker & mini fan. tanker 242
