Hi fellas

Thanks for all the very kind remarks, the work you guys do I think outstrips mine by miles! My little monkey drives it around the front room with "rubble" in the commanders hatch, if your in the know your get the reference ;) i managed to bigger up the ibu2 in it last summer when we were playing with it in the garden, and i never got round to fixing it, and unluckily enough at the end of Jan she got an antibiotic resistant UTI and was in hospital seriously unwell for 4 days, and all she kept asking was to fix her KV tank for her, so I thought I'd better do it right!, and the inspiration and advice I get on this forum is just excellent!!.

Superb! :clap: The colours really have depth and luminosity, giving a convincing impression of weathered painted metal....only, and I hope you don't mind.. can I suggest that you turn your pics through 90deg to spare a few strained necks, with further updates!

I had a problem with the photos too, but discovered if you click on them, the enlarged version is correctly orientated.

Excellent paint work. looks like the real thing even without adding anything more to it.
