Looks good.

How common was fitting the track onto the front like that? I know it was common practice to use spare links as armour, but was it always there?

Thanks fellows.....RobW, the front track mount is actually standard issue for most the T34s/SUs other than the early variants of T34. I had used the HL T34/85 upper so there is a spot for it. Funny enough I think it is just how they carry extra tracks and not for protection per sa. Early variants carry them two pieces lying on its side on either side of the tank.

Thanks Afrikakrops....... No where near yours (love the track camo) as I am waiting for the Grand Master dgsselkirk (A local fellow member) to put his final touches on it. The electronics is Clark and 110% agreed the Taigen T34 lower is probably one of the best one from them. Love them. Here is a pic of the interior.

Thanks guys...... The log is a little bit cheesy, but will ask dgsselkirk to put some proper chains on it. The MkI smoker is held in place with two sided tape (same as servo tape ?) and also some epoxy. I have not run it very hot yet, so don't know if it will hold if it gets too hot. I know hot glue will loose grip so sure. Really should build a proper bracket for it like the HL KV uppers, but there really isn't much room as it slides right between the motors/gearsets.
