excelent ! there are two gunners handles which mount onto the gunners armour one for the right hand and one for the left, the left being roughly where his hand is now (where the armour meets the hull. i may have some Mk2 interior pics of a pals carrier if you wish i could either post them on here for you or email them to you ? i guess it depends on how far you want to go with the detail.

Are these the handles you are referring to in these two pics indicated by the white arrows? In one pic it looks like they have a rubber bicycle handle grip on it and the second pic there isn't a rubber grip, or could be it has come off the handle. Thank you for that bit of info.... Harold

Thank you K713
Update: The work continues and getting closer to completeing this carrier. Here are the latest pics as she stands right now. I've added the front fenders and the steps on the rear plate. I've added details to the engine compartment cover, and given it another coat of paint. I've painted the track a metalic grey and will be giving the track some washes.

will probably get slated off people for saying this but the track appears too tight on the real thing if you grab the track directly inline with the rear bogey axel there should be two inches of slack on the track (up and down) on a correctly tensioned set. however from the ones i have seen and in pictures of units during the war they had a wee bit more. its looking really good though Harold well done. do you think you will be able to fit the HL smoker and sound matrix in this ? also are you going to put fender skirts on or leave it open ?
