...... So then,got some bits done since Monday, first off,I chopped off the other end of that single side plate I'm using, and,(as Jakko suggested),used some plastic card to fashion a replacement bit for tother end....


Then I plonked the upper hull onto the lower,and fitted side skirts...

There he is,and although not micrometer accurate,I think it stands up along side the original ones well enough:thinking:.
The more complete side here, just cut off the very last plate,and won't be fitted the track guard either.....


... and finally for now.... I wouldn't wanna be in a slit trench with this bearing down on me....

:astonished:!!
As you can see there's much fettling to do before,and during the camo going on... starting that in a mo actually :thumb2:,
Thanks for all of your comments,and also to those who just look in, it's much appreciated,cheers for now....

Well Andy you have been a busy boy. The aftermarket grills look a good buy. As others have already noted this is looking rather good :thumb2:
