    Some reviewers of this kit have mentioned that the decals for the fire extinguishers wouldn't conform, so I thought I'd better get those done. They needed quite a long soak, then put them down on a blob of Microset. Left them a few minutes and they started to settle, then a good dose of Microsol got them nice and snug. Gave them a second drop of Sol to make sure, then a coat of Klear.

    Quite pleased with those, I think it's little details like this that bring models to life.
    Added a few more parts that I should have painted first:

      Well, I decided to use the bar armour after all. Leaving it off would have needed several other mods, and the bar armour was an essential part of the Herrick configuration, so on it went. A couple of the decals have to be fitted before the bar armour, so they're on - stupidly I then lost the remaing 3 decals, so they're missing! Just the rear regisration plate, and a unit badge each side of the turret, which wouldn't be visible anyway.
