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.

There's plenty of light at the end of the tunnel now.

Coming along nicely Colin. A question though. Having rebuilt the bits you have, using what remains were left as patterns, what are you sourcing for specs on the missing bits.

Hi Rick, great photos. There would be a few photos of my tanks around somewhere. It would be great to see some photos of my actual tanks showing their names if anyone has access to them.
Hi Jack, yes they are coming along good. Apart from copying parts from originals I was lucky enough to aquire 97 drawings like the ones shown. It is very easy to expand them and scale of the original and then reproduce from the drawings. I have done the exercise of scaling a drawing of a part I have and I am amazed how accurate the drawings are. I am very confident that what I am reproducing is as close to damn is to swearing. I still need to go the one at pucka for turret measurements.

Both those photos are of 'Platypus' which was restored for the late Jacques Littlefield (and now in the Collins collection). When I was involved in the restoration, I searched the photo libraries and matched the numbers. There are quite a few photos to be found of the 10 tanks. I have seen a photo of Bower Bird in the background beside Kookaburra, taken at Liverpool Camp in 1939 it was one from Paul Handel's collection in an article. cheers Richard
