    That is a fine looking turret, Gavin @snowman
    You should be very careful in not knocking off anything during the rest of this build.

    Thanks @johnb, that would be a tragedy!

    Anyway, onwards and upwards, completed that ammo tray for the Browning.
    Started work on the engine bay, challenging but fun.
    Till next time.

    Finally built and mounted the armoured radiator grille. Slightly out of square, but overall I am pleased.

    Till the next update.

    Had to scratch build new brackets for the sand ladder so it can face the right way, a cable reel for the side of the turret and a stowage tube on the same side of the hull.
    I am pleased with my work.

    Till the next update. 🖖🏼
