Jarndice that is an excellent point and even better on the Tamiya is that the Feifel units are bolted in rather than glued. So in retrospect I could have removed them completely to install the chains. I actually did not know about the chains until I had re-assembled the back panel and was looking at images of the back end of Bovington's Tiger trying to figure out the T1 early starter handle location. They are a nice little detail and as you say not many people put them on. When I inevitably rip the chains off driving it I'll remember to do that now when I re-install them

Such an excellent redux! I love all the little extras that We notice. I like the camo pattern and paint work. She definitely deserves the attention you have given. :thumbup:

Thanks Mr. Chef. Looking at the last 2 tanks I've posted in this forum I'm starting to think I must have been influenced by AutoTrader ads for my images. I'll be having one with the floor mats in the trunk next :haha:

Since the Show Off section has been a little quiet of late I thought I'd post a shot of the Tiger that Sandy in the club did in monochrome a few weeks back. I thought he really captured it great
