Hi all

Well that Xmas done and new year to come soo this week ..the bit in the middle is a dead zone for me ..so pleanty of modelling time to get on with this build I hope to get this and another one I've not startered for the tank museum show in the 11 and 12 of Feb ..that right a 2 day model show at the tank museum at bovington a personal invite this time by the museum ..so I really must build finish turn up and ..show ..

Much to do .infact too much to do ,,so from here on in ..I will pics but not say that much or I'd spend too much time here chatting and ..not building

So pics ...have a c2 chassis and hull top and the hull needs a fair amount of work to ..back date ,,,

Enjoy !!
