Looks awesome! I'm enjoying the progress pics. Having the hull "belly up" is a genius move in getting the exhaust and diff fitted with minimum fuss.

I look forward to your next post.

Matt.

It's on its side now which again very easy to install the steering and gear linkage. Also much better to paint the inside. As it has been raining all day I didn't want to take it outside and use my crane so I used the overhead gantry and I might say that it is probably on its limit. I do rely heavily on my forklift so between the two of them it was a smooth operation.

You do need a panbrake folder to do these.

You also need a milling machine as well.

I have done my floor plate and have made some of the Vickers ammo and parts floor holders.

I would assume that these would also be in the NZ carriers as well.
