      Just caught up with this one. Great stuff so far but I gotta question. Where does the propellor (Pic 2) go?

        Looking good Andy, decals look fine to me, they can be a pain to do on the kind of surfaces you have there.

            Hard to believe that Both the misses and I have dodged the virus thus far. Have a beach of a cold that I gave her though (have testede and its only a cold).

            Great work on the build so far.

                Evenin` Chaps,
                Thank you all for the Kind wishes to myself and Rach,she`s pretty much over it now,and i`m getting there i think:thumb2:,
                In my frustration the last couple of days,i have managed to clank on a few more bits on the interior,and get some paint on it...... i.e..... rear gun mount,antenna stem,centre seat and armour shield for the windscreen.... oh,and i chucked the top onto the bottom!!......

                      Nice work Mr. Smiff!!! I do hope you and Rach are feeling better and the 'crap' is soon gone from you both......and Devon too. It does tend to kill the Mojo a bit, but old people still drive on anyway......Now quit slackin' and get crackin' Buddy!!!...

                      Prost

                        Sorry missed the updates. Age obviously glad to hear your one the worst of the COVID. The build is coming on beautifully but I see what you mean about the pics!

                            Next up is to add the stowage,rifles and then continue with/touch up the weathering.... with luck and a fair wind I'm hoping to finish this one tonight
                            Thanks for looking in,
                            Andy
