Thank you,Scottie! I found some bad moments on photos. I'll fix them. Sometimes only macro can show the quality of the work.

Neo,
I went through my meager references on these early tanks. And in both sets of drawings (Bradford and Broughton) they show that bottom plate as being a smooth plate and with no bolt/rivets to hold it in place. But looking at the photo you have it appears there are some bolt holes along the top edge. So I would assume that the plate slots over the bottom lip and is bolted along the top lip. But then I came across this photo
FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike.

You have a serious amount of after market goodies there, and it's already looking good at this stage.
Hello,Mike! Thank you very much for the photo and comment! I think it will help me. Thanks again!
Greetings, Colin! I suppose almost all I will do by myself
I hope it will be interesting.
Uff. I see on photos that work with workable panel with hinges is not perfect. And a panel seem to me is to thin. Sometimes only macro can give us an answers about quality of scratch. I will do a new panel.

Glad to see the info was of help Neo. A wonderful update as always. Keep it comin my friend
Fantastic detailing, keep up the great work Neo.
Thanks again! Next week I will do this holders etc and then will go upper.
Thank you! Keep working!
Yes,I think the rear is only the beginning of the long path.
Uf. That work makes me mad. When you go futher - things become harder. I don't think I can win this battle. Maybe a draw. I am trying to substitude some details and make this tank look like abandoned and crushed. Exhaust cover I made from thin aluminium to make some dents on it.
Much work ahead. Some lines I will correct in the end , they are not parallel.

Not sure Neo. I have a look and see what I can find out. With the light being in the middle would there have been another one????
Thank you, Steve! I think it is common to vehicles in Greece. Others in Europe has two lights.
