Been working on the rear engine deck today . Moved a clamp made some more missing parts , added weld seams . I also replaced the missing lift handles from the engine cover and primed . Ive decide not to move the turret and add the ring but towards the end of this build I may change my mind  :-\ :-\ :-\. Going to to start exhausts tom if I get time but got a busy day  :-\ :-\ :-\ Just realised looking at my Pict's forgot to finish the drivers vision port  :-[ :-[ And I need to add the transmission covers these , you guessed it I'm going to scratch build  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The build's coming along nice Andy!  I've been sick and haven't had the energy to continue mine so I'm way behind you... staring at the paint & primer is killing me.  Maybe tomorrow  :-\

That is fantastic work Andy! It looks as good as the expensive resin parts! This Tiger is turning out to be a beauty!

Keep up the great work.  ;D

Hi Rik, Thanks for your comments its not perfect but I think it will work going to put a spring on it like the bought ones and give it a tidy up . I haven't decided if to add the rain slots yet .
