Next the hull........

this shows the hull and the mods needed the removal of the pry bar , the engine blanking plate ,also the engine hatches had to be removed and new new ones built,
here it shows the handles removed, the rear retaining latch removed and the water filler ground off , a great deal of filler has gone in to these depressions ,,the engine vent has been rounded off but will require more work... as i now post more i shall try and include the info attached to the piccy as this is the best way too do it.........so the pics below should include the info fingers crossed......................Fleshy...........
dam they only show in the photo bucket site so this just means more writing ,..the piccy above shows the ring guard plan kindly sent by tankman

here i am using lead to make this bit i find this is a very useful medium, as long as one is careful,

this shows that i have added all the holes required on the plan including the ones that will not be used these rings were made of three pieces the same holes drilled in each ,but owing to the fact that items under the roof were there they found that some holes had to be left open..

this shows the profile that is required on the ring guard..........

the overall piccy of the new parts including the now rejected pilze sockets,also the two ally tubes that will be added to the commanders hatch for his rain guard ..and the replacement engine handles.made from copper wire.............
more to follow soon..........
Fleshy.......................
