Hi JimEngine built. Lots of parts. It won't be seen as I'll have the bonnet closed. I built it partly for fun but also as I wasn't sure how much of it was needed to fix/strengthen the chassis and the bulkhead. So no wires, cables or belts to scratch

Hi Jim, looking goodA fair bit of progress, well at least it's good for me as I'm not the most speedy of modellers
Winch, air tanks and fuel tanks. The winch attaches to two PE cross members and as Los pointed out their positioning is critical. I got it slightly wrong so had to cut of one attachment point and move it, hence the long replacement rod ready to be cut to length.

As I said earlier I have made up the drive wheel sprockets/rollers as per the instructions.
So that's where I'm at. Next job really is to figure out the best approach for fitting the upper parts as the instructions look to have a few issues with their suggested order.
Thanks again guys.
Jim
