Thanks John
Cheers Steve - I have Son of Sherman and the Hunnicutt books, they are pretty good
Tony - thanks for looking in
Scottie - micro rod / strip have been my staple scratch building essentials since the late 80's. Worth getting but Slaters postage tends to be a bit costly these days
Paul - I may be wrong but aren't they photo books? I would like to see something like the Achtung Panzer series where they have done an in depth study of all the different marks of vehicle - scale plans, sketches of all the differences and changes etc
Back to the model, I had yesterday off work so there was a bit more progress
made a winch, plumbed in the air cylinders
and added an exhaust from lead wire
non of which will be very visible yet again
needs a little tidying up but I think that is the back end essentially done
