Default Beautiful start Clark

I see you are back at it with the Vickers Light tank. Model 1936? I know they went to Greece and the Latvians. Mine is progressing at a good pace as well. I am fighting some engine issues but the general shape is outlined by the internal superstructure I have built. I am trying to post a few pics so hopefully we can compare notes but this thing wants such small pics..... The turret is going to be the 2pdr and I will model it on the Latvian configuration. Here is another pic of it on parade in Latvia.

hi ray

I haven't actually been up to the turret yet, just found a few pics on the net and got a location to search. I plan on taking the family camping and having a look for it while we're there. if I find it and recover it I will help out in any way I can so maybe hold fire on the turret until I can get the true dimensions for you.
these are the only pics I have but show a fair bit of detail.

Default Looks Great

The turret and drivers hatch areas look great. Would it be possible to post a few pics of the turret ring? Bottom of the turret and the mount on the tank?

Hi Jon,I was fortunate to get a bearing assembly on ebay that was perfect for it
with flanges on both sides.All I had to do is make the drive that show;s in the picture.
