That looks quite a lot better - nice one Frank.

It should look damned tasty with a lick of paint.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... :think: ....Starting to think you are strategically taking these photos at shall I say interesting angles .... just to get me to find more pictures for verification

there isn't the same apex on the mantlet...and you still don't quite have that "snoopy nose" going on ...you need the snoopy nose on the bottom of the front shield Image

Think the skirts are a better addition than those false sprockets Image

Happy Tanking Fynsdad Image

To be honest Frank, there is no doubt what she is right now.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.................. :think: ....No Snoopy Nose... it won't be a Chaffee

Image
the top is fine so long the line is clear... but no nose...no Chaffee :haha: ................... ;)

The skirts are great though :thumbup:
