Hey Rob, was looking closely at the TC's station, what side do you have the charging handle attach to?

Hull is just about finished. It is time to start doing the groundwork and getting the hull integrated to it.

Turret is partially weathered and I need to start with the stowage. Lots to do there.

Note the regular charging handle for the M2 .50 cal is on the right, but the M10 charging device - the U shaped handle that helps the TC pull the charging handle, is on the left. So, all is good.

Very close to being finished with the tank. I need to highlight and shadow the VS-17 panel, and paint the clasps and eyelets. Then a couple of figures and the groundwork.

The only thing you're missing, Rob is the stink (and the flies, can't forget the flies). Definitely one of your best, man!
