Hi Brian

Great to hear its up and moving about, you mentioned upgrades, ive seen some metal tracks, but they aren't cheap: http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/produ ... c32a5f2331

Still, would be a very cool bit of armour with metal boots on! ;)

Hi Brian

I will be changing my recoil unit shortly, and as for the speaker, I have mine in the turret under the gunners hatch, fits quite well actually, will get a pic up for you shortly.
Yes, the tracks look good, but as you say, bit dear!

I am contemplating building one of these. I live in Canada so first I need to find a supplier. Any suggestions?
I was following this thread but the pictures are not displaying. Too bad as I was hoping to see some cool build pics.
Any help would be appreciated.
