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

Looking good mate ....

More info required on your loom issues for my "simple mind" to understand!!

Well, the Sherman lighting loom has 5 build on it. I think the kv has 2. So the 5 bulbs are really dim on the kv-1 mfu. On the Sherman mfu it worked fine.

looking good tom old chap, envy wot wot

Well my M51 was feeling a bit neglected, happily my parts have arrived from axels....finally. So cracking on first up was the tubular frame for the rear stowage bin. This was scratched from bronze tube and soldered together.









Next up was the rear plate, with exhaust. Lots of nice detail on this:



The barrel traverse lock (fully working)





The infantry phone:


Spare wheel holders:



And the first jerry can holder:

Tom,
Beautiful parts and detailing. ;o) She is really coming along.

Tom just one word mate or two bloody awesome as usual

Some more done on the m51 today, done the jerry can holders and the tow rope and holders.

















Next up are the tools, the antenna and the auxiliary generator exhaust.

Good Morning,
*The daily kudos* ;o) Are those tow cable holders a Schumo part? They are excellent in detail and match up nicely to your scratch built wonders.

Painless

looking really good , great details
