Yes it is such a shame it's not open
  . AS these are so rare and as far as I know all the other examples left have been refurbished. The one at Pucka was also redone and the internals are not original as I was told by the curator there a couple of years ago. I think there is a wreck at a museum in Egypt so I will follow that one up as well. I have seen photos of that one and it does have significant battle damage but it is still original. I'm sure that the right connections could get access to the inside of the one in Canada. Looking inside tanks is something everyone wants to do at these museums and the openings could be covered with Perspex or glass if it was a safety issue.

The suspension is now complete on both tanks as well as new cover plates. So the underside is finished. I am now waiting on my new wheels as it is so much easier to put them on in their current position using the overhead gantry.

Wombat is now back on its wheels and sitting nice and level. Just having a good look this morning, I have a lot of fabrication to do on these two tanks before they're finished.

Bruce,
All the Mk6A tanks in Australia were named. You can see the list of tanks on line in AWM126. Registrations C270 to C279 in this book: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C2143572 Great job, Colin! Mike

Thanks John, you certainly need to be persistent in this hobby or you will never get a project finished.
Tim, I get a great amount of satisfaction with every piece that I add to these little tanks and that makes it all worth while. I have just done the front top plates that includes the drivers head room and top of the engine bay. I did the plates for both tanks.
