Hi all
19 Sept early morning update ...
OK the CrARRV is based on the challenger 1 chassis .. and there are some difference ..as you can see from the pics below the hull sides are higher than the gun tank ! What a head ache as it means
more or less a new hull top as you see the only part left really is the centre of the engine deck
I was thinking the construction if the hull sold be a simple matter .,as so far it seems to be ..
as always measure several times ..cut ..test fit ... correct ... glue ... sometimes that works ..
Hope to get a bit more done today ?
Pic time

Done a bit more last night the storage bins are a complex mix of shapes .. and started on the A frame
I am enjoying this build as it's certainly exercising the grey matter ..

Thanks Herman
It's the detailing that will be the devil ... and I've still got loads of large components to make up yet ..
