State of play so far: Added various details, as for example an driving axle & exhaust system, rebuilt the running gear, thinned down all the armour plates. Still more to add to the interior. Currently the carrier is on hold, as I'm waiting for the new tracks to arrive. (the tracks in the photograph were temporally taken from another kit in my stash). 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
