A13 Mk.I/Cruiser Tank Mk.III

Neo,
I went through my meager references on these early tanks. And in both sets of drawings (Bradford and Broughton) they show that bottom plate as being a smooth plate and with no bolt/rivets to hold it in place. But looking at the photo you have it appears there are some bolt holes along the top edge. So I would assume that the plate slots over the bottom lip and is bolted along the top lip. But then I came across this photo

FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike.
 
You have a serious amount of after market goodies there, and it's already looking good at this stage.

Uff. I see on photos that work with workable panel with hinges is not perfect. And a panel seem to me is to thin. Sometimes only macro can give us an answers about quality of scratch. I will do a new panel.

Uf. That work makes me mad. When you go futher - things become harder. I don't think I can win this battle. Maybe a draw. I am trying to substitude some details and make this tank look like abandoned and crushed. Exhaust cover I made from thin aluminium to make some dents on it.

Much work ahead. Some lines I will correct in the end , they are not parallel.

Thank you, Steve! I think it is common to vehicles in Greece. Others in Europe has two lights.
