when you have finished it tom send her to me ....wot wot ......

UUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ... What's the white stuff... and why is there crime scene tape on the turret ...

Boy Tom... this is the first allied Tank I've seen you build... think it will be a treat

Carpe Diem Sir

The white stuff I think is filler to give a cast texture for the hull, (you can see this a bit better in person). The stripy stuff is insulation tape I used to hold the turre together whilst I'm still building the thing! I don't like the fact you can't disassemble the turret as on the othe tamiya tanks so I'm thinking of a way to sort this!

This will be only my second allied build, I did a Pershing a while a go but I'm really looking forward to all the details and stowage on this.

OK Tom... If I leave my mailing info...send her over the Pacific ...to some awaiting grubby little hands ...and I'll give her a good once over and check out that texture I'll even fabricate some nice clips to clip the upper and lower of the turret together
You'll get her back....one day.... I promise

Have a good one Tom

ALPHA

Ps don't forget to leave all the internals... and please include the remote

Ok alpha let me get some stamps.....wait a second!!!! Today I've been working on the rear engine deck to represent one with a diesel motor rather than a radial. Some more detailing to do but you get the general idea!

Fine work my friend.

Are you going to replace the rear rack with a scratch built correct stowage bin?

Go on .. go on .. You need the practice!

Haha! I shall be amending the rear stowage, to be fair it's not that far off the US version. Done a lot yesterday, first thing was to install the battle system. Then I added turret details and some more detail on the rear deck.

Cracking on with the fenders:

tom, I am not jealous, I do not envy what you are doing because I know that you will take pity and pass it on to me ....wot wot .....

Skirts pretty much done now, just need the hex bolts for the front part of the fenders:
