Beautiful as ever Neo. How did you make the screw heads please? Did you need to drill out a hole before putting in the head?? Many thanks in advance

Hello,Steve! Thank you! Much work ahead unfortunately. I wasn't ready for such a "war" with this model but.....
Yes. I drilled a holes before installing screws. It is PE from Aber. In true I prefer Masterclub but they don't produce such rivets and bolts. I asked Sergey (owner) many times to start producing but unsuccessful.

I tried to get hold of some Lion Marc ones but found them too expensive for what you get

Lion Mark is quite hard to get in Russia unfortunately. Maybe Masterclub one day make us a present=)

Greetings,friends! I've worked with air intake grates. This is an easy way but I've decided to increase their height with additional plastic. Drilled many holes and made new version of springs covers by putty.
Here is first and second variants.
Next week I will work with air cleaners and it's covers.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and spend this time with your families!

Thank you, Graeme!
Unfortunately I have mistaken with grills. So I will try to fix this moment after New Year holidays.

Greetings,friends! I hope your holidays were good! We have New Year holidays in Russia. Unfortunately I have mistakes in previous stages. That's why I need to make new variant of grills. I will need some time.

Hello,Paul! Thank you for your words! All my latest works are here in a build logs.

Happy New Year to you Neo. I hope you had a great festive period. Sorry to hear about the grills. Hopefully you managed to get them sorted now. I admire your dedication for build accuracy

Hello, Steve! Thank you! I've started again. I should try to build accurate model. I think I can. Maybe in the end we will see something interesting, non common model. Very sad than early war British vehicles are not popular.
