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 ?

No I won't be useing the HL electronics as the sound is of a Tiger tank not a ford flathead motor and as for the smoker I don't think they are very realistic as any motor that smoked that much is really due for a motor job.

looking great ! the drivers ehxhaust heat sheild on the rear pannel (next to the box) should be mesh, and if that box on the back is the radio battery box, it would be mounted near the top of the rear armour in the middle, on the back of the box itself would be a tray to hold oil/petrol and on the back of that the number plate (if this is what the box is to reprisent, however if radio not fitted your good (she has no antenna's so i presume not
 ) looking fantastic mind good work !Rich ps i am not picking holes here just giving you a heads up in case you are bothered
