The exhaust and rear light have been sprayed and fitted.
The prop shafts on, the false gearbox cover is bolted in place and a lot of the internal fittings, boxes have been bolted in.
I have still got a couple of retaining straps to fit and a wooded toolbox to make but it's getting there.

Lastly, I decided that where I had fixed the charging socket was a silly idea, as every time the cover was opened the wires were pulled taught, so I made a bracket and fixed the socket to one of the floor supports.
Tank wise, that was my weekend but I still have a load more bits to assemble next week.

Evening All,
I have been doing a little wood work. I think that it was the last internal item that I was missing, a Werkzeugkasten 1.

I managed to find a couple of different ones on the web and decided to use this one as a pattern.

I have used a different design of catch, although the same pattern as I have used, were used on the other version of the box. The box above is obviously painted in sand colour and would be late war, I have assumed that mine would have been black but who knows.

Before painting.

Default Top 3

There are a number of truly excellent build projects here on MLU but this, the Vickers tanks in Australia and the Scorpion/Scimitar build are the top 3 in my opinion 👍

Cheers

Phill
