Hi cleaned up all suspension arms, the lower hall was badly twisted /deformed so soaked in warm water, clamped to workbench to straighten, have added stiffeners to keep square.
Added nuts to the bump stops as they were missing.
Remade rear part of track adjuster arm.
As you can see the tracks are full of ejector marks ,sanded down and started assembly.
Added rear engine grill had to add supports.

Assembled the road wheels, idler sprocket, drive sprocket and return rollers, on the road wheels I drilled out the missing lightning holes.
Drilled out track horns.
Soaked top track section in warm water and bent to have some track sag .
Primed and painted lower hall road wheels, sprockets and return rollers tracks and then assembled.

Have I said something inappropriate? If so I apologise; apologise unreservedly, and withdraw any such comments I may have made. It is never my intention to cause offence either tacitly or implicitly.

Hi I had to scratch build the front bow plate you can see the size of the original one in front , it's far to small.
Added front machine gun , light, horn, antenna mount, side storage bins, recovery cable attachment adjusters, hatches , turret ring deflection strip ,photo-etch grills and exhausts.
