Evening all, right then - straight in with the fun bit, so I dug out the internal parts from the M1 kit - all Five sprues with about Two Hundread parts, first thing was to cut the round bottom floor section out, I also took the M1 lower hull section out and compared it to my Chally one - "Upsss Problem"..............the Chally widthe between wheel/track well sides in narrower then the M1, so the round floor setion will not drop down into the space, only option was/is to file off both sides of the floor to allow it to fit, only problem doing this is it means the turret will not be able to rotate and will have to be glued forward or rear fixed down. I can not make the whole floor rounded and smaller as there are side pieces that glue to the floor and lign up with the turret ring, the distance between these would be two small and not lign up. The top is just dry fitted and will be for some time yet. Almost foregot..........I also added a bit more bling in the shape of a PE reel cage and reel on the rear. Lots of head scratching moments yet to come ................."who had this idea"???????😁 OC.

We had our normal covering of snow - brought the normal chaos and disruption to traffic (well if we were not in lockdown it would have done)😊 My pic out the window. OC.

Gorgeous mate - right down to the lever adjusters - you have done that machine so much credit. OC.
-
Will follow your build mate, they are Superb kits and are really well made, I think like me you will love building yours. OC.
-
What make have you gone with Ken? OC.

Bet that rides beautiful cant beat a decent sports bike. OC.

Thats an interesting thought mate. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis, yes Rye Field Models are Superb with so much detail - deffo recommend them to anyone wanting to do an armoured kit. OC.

I would have to measure it - but at a guess 3-4mm. Here is a close up showing the roof section after they have painted it (red is not supposed to be the correct colour - from online sorces the oppionion is they were Grey). OC.

Thank you brother for keep finding this info - really will help my build plan. OC.
-
Thats cheating.😁 OC.
-
Thanks Ken, the roof in the MDF kit is just that - flat MDF with at best lines scored to replicate tiles, and at worst just pened in, there are no individual tiles. OC.
-
I once had an F117 Stealth kit same issue - tail sitter - do you think I could find some (fitting) nose weight for it.😁 OC.
-
Thank you EG. Edward thats put some things into context - food for thought, quite a few decisions regarding the time frame during the day I want to show early on and the damage to the farm was limited but later on towrds the late afternoon is when the French attempted to set fire to the barn if not the farm to draw the KGL out. OC.
-
Whats your trick for getting the tire weight inpressions? mine is to fix them in place then to rub the plane gently on a fine wet and dry sheet on a flat surface. OC.

Evening all, so work continues on the rear engine cover, this time I assembled and placed the barrel brace for when the tank is in stoawge position, I also added a few more fitting including the reat stowage bins - these are lovely moulding including the locks. OC.
-
Really nice work Denis - she is taking shape now. OC.
-
Wonderful Patrick another splendid addition to your collection. OC.
-
Thank you brother, do you think they would have had insendery devices fired out the French Canons as surely a bog standard canon ball would not have caused a fire? OC.
-
That Fairing unit looks Superb mate. OC.
-
These are contermpory drawings from the time showing the Grey slate roofs and a good amount of damaged Whitewash coming off the walls showing the Brickworks. OC.
-
Ken, EG, all the roofs were flat Grey tiled. OC.
-
I didn't realize that brother - right then I will do this version as seen on exercise in Germany. OC. Not my pic.
