Rats (if seen) around here don't last very long until they get a little 'present' or two - a 'Glaswegan Kiss' from 7 to 8.44 grains of lead (travelling at around 790 feet per second) - though since our last neighbours moved out taking their chickens with them, not seen so many.

I'm sure they don't. You ever been whacked in the nose by a forehead, fist or boot, you won't soon forget it. PaulEComment

Right some progress has been made.
Fitted the track guards, notice the front idler wheels are too high ! Sure I fitted them as per instruction, but definitely wrong. They will havre to stay, had to damage the front of the fender as damaged from
ramming.
.
Not to bothered by the ca marks, there will be plenty of debris on this area .
Turret not fixed yet.
Found these parts, they are not marked as not required but can't find any reference for them on the instructions , any idea ? .
Look like some sort of wheel nu, but only 8.
Thanks for looking in, comments always welcome.

They look like conical bolts for holding on armoured plate John. Have a good look at references and see if any are missing?
Nice job on the build so far, by the way.Comment

I`d missed this until a while ago John!!:dizzy:
I COMPLETELY agree about losing bits to the so called"Carpet Monster"!!...... Many a time i`ve done just that,only to watch it fall into a certain spot..... "I`ll pick that up later",methinks,but NO!!...... When i decide to regather said piece...... IT`S GONE ?!!!:flushed::thinking:
.... and NEVER to be seen again......
...... until you`ve dropped a bit of your next build,and whilst looking...... you suddenly find THAT,old,elusive bit which is of no practical use anymore!!:loudly-crying:
......................... ANYHOW MATE,enough of that.....
Your build here is looking superb Sir,i love it:thumb2:shall not be so shabby in my looking in as this progresses:thumb2:,
Love to Christine,from myself,and of course,Rach:hungry:,

Thanks Andrew.
Hi Tim, thanks for that, looking quickly at the photo there seem to be some very large bolt heads on the turrett. But as I said no mention of them on the instructions, I'll have a look tomorrow on the model and see.
Thanks Andy, message passed on to Christine, who said " thank you " and sends her love back.
I'm quite expecting to find the nozzle in about 6 months time and promptly discard it as a lump of PE !
Hi Steve, thanks for that. I'm intrigued now as what they actually are. Must look in a minute on the Australian site to see if he has built it, failing that maybe a email to Trumpeter.
Certainly are when I built them Graeme :smiling2: Reading about the KV-2 it was a beast to steer so would expect the odd tree , building etc to be clipped
Evening Bob, I agree, you wouldn't want to meet this on the road.Comment

Just looked at PMMS and read this .
The large bolt heads either side of the mantlet are on separate parts that fit from the inside and result in excellent definition on the bolts as with the first KV-2 kit.
Fit from the inside ? Can't see the point of trying to do this can anyone else ?Comment
