Very useful especially the engine deck close ups, and the wheels (there were at least three different patterns of Comet wheels, a surprise given the tank's short production life). More inspiration for completing the Bronco kit!

Thank you for the replies i will add some better pictures to this after my next visit as these were taken with a very old digital camera which left them a little dark and soft.
