Well the carrier is getting close to being finished. Have the suspension done except for painting the rubber tires on the road wheels, and mounted on the hull. Now to get to the rear stowage bin, the brengun mount, anti-aircraft brengun mount, spare road wheel and bracket, and front sand skirts, and any other small details I have missed, plus paint the tracks and the rest of the hull. Here are the latest pics. As always coments welcomed.... Harold

Update:
Well things are moving along quickly now, getting closer to the end. Here I have constructed both the main brengun mount and the anti-aircraft brengun mount pedistal. The mounts were made to fit DID brens. I have the sand skirts formed, just need to apply bolt heads, paint, and attach. Next I wil turn my attention to cunstructing the rear stowage bin(box). Here are the latest pics. As always comments welcomed ..... Harold
