Thank you Tim.
Chris, you are right, after this much work it just has to have some bangs as well   I have been quite busy making the smoke launcher brackets and I need some details of the launcher itself if anyone has one.

I wasn't going to put the turret on the tank yet but I needed to verify some clearances. I would surely love to know the last time this tank had a turret sitting on top. It would probably be over half a century ago.

I had to visit the Tank Museum this week and spotting the Vickers MkVIB I took the attached photo which may help you a little way, when making the smoke launchers. regards, Richard

I have made those dischargers in the past and have drawings if needed.

Thankyou James, Thank you Richard for the photo and Adrian the drawings would be a great help. While I am on the turrets I think it would be a good time to make them as well.
I have been doing lots of small unseen jobs to the turrets and bolting the ball races to the top of the hulls.

No sooner you start a job in the morning the days gone
 Some days you just don't appear to achieve much for the hours put in.
