Superb detailing and advice Mr 750 :thumbup:
Would it be fair to say that your modifications are a "standard" by which all CH2's can be modified ?

I have taken some ideas from other builders and I think added some new ones but in all I think these modifications are a standard that helps to bring the tank alive but I do believe each to there own and what ever makes a tanker happy.
