Well done Alwyn, that looks well good!
I completed printing my turret last night & the big support is running today.
Just finished the hull & I’ll be fitting the suspension tonight.
Thanks for all your efforts on this!!!
Cheers

side panels added being careful not to glue to the rear panel of the lower hull

Next will be the two panels either side of the centre panel
