You’re right there, that’s why I got another one! I miss it!

glad you got them okay =) and they fit, always tricky trying to get things correct when one doesn't have the part to hand but I'm glad it worked out - now the big question, does the recoil still work? ;)

looking forward to seeing his one finished - the krokodil is on my to do list in the future =)

Some progress!

Took a big leap and removed the sponsons!
Also removed all tools and have filled and sanded the holes.

Aerial base and empty shell hatch removed to make space for the late tool layout.

Removed one front mud guard and drilled out the bolt holes.
