Sorrey there's more:tired:

Boxed in the compartment above the rear tow ring, added F&R sprocket brace plates. Fitted tracks.
Added missing tow cable hooks to the side plus nuts and rivets. added rope to exhaust to simulate asbestos rope.
I know it should have a metal cover but I like it without.

The brass hardwear came from Slapton Sands about 200 yds from the Sherman Tank memorial. A mate found them last year in the sand and they where probably used in the ill-fated Exercise Tiger the practice site for the D-Day landings.
I've just cleaned them up for my collection.


Yes I know.
Pete.

Nice.. I see a couple of the primers are still intact, hope they've rusted out, don't want them popping your tracks off after all the time spent building up... Lol

Hi there safe 70+ year's in sand & saltwater did the trick, as for the popping I'm get to the stage where I can't help it (it's a age thing).:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:
