And finally for now, I have made and fixed in place, some covers over the maintenance holes in the base of the chassis. These holes line up with the engine oil drain plug and such like.

Evening,
I have been working on the engine and radiator bay surrounding walls, if that's what they are called. I have had to make a modification to the area of the fire wall where the gearbox protrudes into the crew compartment, originally the gearbox was a separate unit situated next to the driver. In order to be able to remove the engine and gearbox, I have had to put a removable section in this area of the wall. I don't think that it will be noticeable once the interior details are added.

These pictures show a little hinged door, behind which sits the radiator. The door can be folded to change the air flow in to the radiator. Also, in the engine deck above this area, is a hatch for the radio operator that has adjustable baffles incorporated into it so that the amount of cool air can be regulated.

Sorry for the amount of pictures but hopefully they will help explain, what I have no doubt failed to.

Extraordinary
Great to see the project going well Jonathan.
Just a thought - are you going to put some sort of insulation on the inside of the engine covers?. There is a type of fabric that is used to line steam locomotive fire boxes. If it didn't do the job I don't know what would. Really enjoying this build. Easy when I can watch from afar.

Hull access plates
Hi Jonathon,
Like the progress images: looking good. A thought: the hex-head bolts used to secure the hull access plates on the underside seem quite deep - might they catch when running over rough ground, making them at least hard to remove, or at worst, torn off? AFVs usually have a countersunk fastener of some sort that sits flush with the plate, and the plate is usually countersunk/sits flush with the surrounding hull plate. Regards Mike
