Hi 43rd The little cable tidies are from B&Q they have sticky pads in a pack but i use EMA plastic weld to fix them . Like my music, helps when trying to make up the dastardly PE parts etc . You have not missed much as its winter now , cycling is being wound down . Have time now to get the builds going.

turret hangers and an unknown cutout on the turret zimmermet

cutouts all lined up just a little adjustment to level

tracks fitted

forgot about this set of tracks perfect holes for track pin.

put this in square cutout haven't a clue about it.

track pins hold everything tight

looks ok might check and get them all same width.

They are little cutouts might have to remove moulded hangers and use on this build

Simply brilliant. I appreciate your approach to all the bits on this build. You are indeed a very accomplished builder.

[HERMAN BIX]

Yes indeed, one I'm following looking to emulate(oh god, now I sound like the Heng Long guy that writes the manual on the sound effects )your work.

[HERMAN BIX]

Would you be able to do me a huge favour Mr Ronnie and give me a spacing measurement for your side mudguard mounts please.
Im about to get going on my ones and cant seem to find a definite measurement.

Thanks for the praise C73 . Don't think i an that good , had a massive fail with the Aber shovel holder it has 4 parts . The voyager PE is a bit more user friendly it has 2 parts , both sides and the curved sections are one piece . My soldering kit is a bit primitive should invest in the miracle solder paste and soldering torch.

i need an upgrade to do the little PE bits

Hi Herman thanks . Will give you sizes . On the new Tamiya i cut the bolt heads off the side skirts and drilled thro the hull. The Atak zimmermet has cut outs for the fixing plates . Will send both sets of positions are they are different . Better make a couple of drawings.

Tow cable and cleaning rods . Found some small brass bolts just right for the screwed ends
