Hi folks,
Well after a slow week or 10 days, I finally got the tracks on this one.
Apologies for the naff pics.

Pictures are not naff at all. It's looking good. I like the finish you have achieved.

Hi Tony and Martin,
Thanks for the comments guys.
Martin it's the Dragon M4A1 6048 lower hull with the formations DV upper hull and a Tamity M4 turrer. Early suspension is from the old Tamiya Grant. I use the 3 piece transmission form one of my VCs I think.
I'm hopong to add some side skirts/fenders but getting the Tamiya M4 ones to fit is going to requirea bit of alteration.
Cheers guys

Small nitpick I noticed. Your idler mounts are reversed. The three bolts should be on the lower edge.

Hi Roy,
thanks for the pic. Instructions are wrong then because they show them with the 3 bolts to the top. I remember turning them upside down to check. Oh well way too late now - looks like some mud!!!!!
Cheers
