Well the box is all painted on the top side surfaces. Later this week Ill try and track down one of my farming neighbours to come by with his tractor and we can flip the box over. Then I can finish paint the primer and final colour.

I also painted a few other parts I had ready to go.

Now its time for some dinner.

Excellent work Jordan. I am thoroughly enjoying the construction of the rear body and wireless fittings in this thread!

The wireless table was painted in a KG#3 colour. I did that just to help break up all of the brown.
Haha....like a true scale modeller

Here is the NOS buzzer installed on the original wooden block. The special nuts were used as well, after spending a night soaking in Evaporust. The wiring for it I'll be leaving until further information comes to light.

The other day with the help from a friend with is tractor, we flipped over the box so that I could paint the underside. Today with the help of some of the guys from the firehall we flipped the box up on its side onto some dolly's and wheeled it into the shop. Soon it will be on the frame. Then I can install the top bows superstructure.

Todays progress brought to you by the aid of gravity. The box is now back on the frame. Im just doing some prep work on the original wooden runners and then they will be installed.

I also need to source out some new u bolts to secure the box to the frame.

Worked today on installing the top bows superstructure. It was originally meant to be removable in one piece to setup as a cover for a ground station. Up next will be attaching all of the hoops and hangers for the rifle mounts.
