Guns travel restraint moves fairly freeley. And everything is done at the back. Glued the fuel tank caps on and what I believe is a breather pipe to stop a vacuum being created inside the fuel tanks. Also putting the head lights together -

Touched up the paint again. And glued the Track guards to the tank along with the storage boxes. Then fitted all the tools. They look good. Took some time painting them all nice. Not quite the right colours on a couple but you wouldn't know unless you were a tank nutcant say how happy I am with that spade. Took alot of patience to get that paint perfect and I don't think I could have done it like that last year -

I did some more work on the track guards. Cleaning them up attaching the speaker and cover and glueing the handles to the storage boxs and the boxes to the guardsspeaker shot of the back with the break lights attached was tricky painting them green with the red. gluing handles to storage boxes also removed some detail from the alternative tank -

Well things just went wrong. Was painting the two track sections for the front of the tank and I have a lamp with a magnefying glass and it gets hot. I went to get a drink and it moved and the heat melted the parts. Going to try and get some replacement parts from TAKOM. -

right i am back almost a year since i touched this wow. doing the periscopes and front hatches driver and bow gunner i belive I believe the instructions intend for the hatches to be glues down but I have left them free. The pices are too small for me to make a hinge so I'll just leave them loos for now. I propped them open with some tooth picks I'll add pictures soon -

So just put together a gun and mantlet that I don't intend to use. And fitted it to the turret with some blue tack to see what it looks like. There should be a muzzle brake on the barrel but there is only one in the set and I intend to use it on the gun I actually want to fit to the tank. -
