Thank you sir for the kind word. I figure if it's worth doing then it's wroth doing right or at least as close as I can.

Thanks Herman, It's not exact, there are a few missed details here and there but it's pretty close.

Short update = lots of work! I have made lots more progress with the little details but have not taking photos.

Barry at this rate the forum might reach its "details" limit! This is phenomenal work and I am blown away by the job you have done

Good call Mr Rainford........we almost need a details limit just for public service and preservation of mental health- that being mine

Mr C, you are certainly setting a new level of research and execution for this scale, and I heartily commend you for it.

Thank you both for your words of encouragement.

I'll post more photos of the rear of the tank as soon as I get a couple of more details added. I'm working on mounting bolts and screws, hinge pins and cotter keys adding final details to the Tank Infantry Phone box and the prototype electrical connections to the tail lights.

Cheers for now,
Barry

Maybe a little more can be done but not sure it will be of benefit to the finished model.

So….here is the Pental Hook fashioned from brass bar stock, wire, 00-90 bolt and nuts, HO scale chain and a lot of time & out of the box thinking and some measure of luck. Remember this also functions as the pull for the On/Off switch.



In the beginning there was the shape without form........................................................................Finished piece! it is bye NO means perfect, but I like it!

Right you...........the van will be around to pick you up directly, the men in the white coats will take care of you in your condition

Perfect work, just amazing detail

Thanks Herman! I just could not let the opportunity pass to add some detail to it. My wife has threatened to call the "white suits" a number of time,

I blew the hole size in the center and had to add a piece of styrene tubing epoxied in to reduce the size but once painted it will blend in, I hope!
