I think you should bring at least one of those (m51/50) on Sunday Dave!

Some little completions have arose. I was going to start building the rear stowage and realised there was a whole but at the rear I hadn't made so I had to do that first:
Im not sure why I bothered with the louvre detai as I've realised no one will see it!
Next up I started building the rear stowage, I've only got as far as the carcass, the pictures show its a tube frame with metal sheet made up over it. I'll be making up the frame with brass tube soldered together.

Tom,
You will know that the louvre detail is there. ;o) That's always been good enough for me when I do something like add a detail only I will see being put into place. It is looking great!

A quick video showing the M-51 with the kv-1 WWII

Some reason the kv-1 mfu doesn't like the Sherman wireline loom
