    This is turning out really nice, George. A real unusual variant.

    It is finally done. It took a while to add all the last little bits. I used round plastic pieces to build the extra antennas needed for the ferret, as well as adding the radio antenna that I managed to knock off 4 or 5 times and then lost. This build was a lot more involved than I thought it would be, but now that it is done, I am glad that I build it. Now, on to the Russian tank killers. Thanks for following along. Cheers.
