The unique to Ferdinand side mounted tool boxes are on.
I went for ruggedness over functionality just as they dont really need to be loaded with tools & opened.
Still left to do is all the engine/generator deck handles & lifting eyes, pistol port plug, jack block mount and spare track mounts.
On the rear theres cleaning up to do & then I can get onto the fun bits..............

Very ,very cool Mr Bix. Probably not so challenging to you after some of the tanks you have built/reconstructed. One of the masters at work.

Now, that is a WW2 tank, i do like. Truly, it looks dystopian.
You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.
