2 Improve turret MG (drill out and fit old plastic MG)
3 Rust exhaust
4 fit scale working headlights
5 Fit flashing main MG
6 make brass authentic track holder
7 make and fit wire turret handles
8 re position aerial
9 open up gearbox hatch cooling ducts
10 remove mantle LED & fill

12 Fit metal stiffener inside body
13 Make covers, run in gearbox & grease
14 fit metal drive and idler + track
