Some WIP. It is only half of what I want and have to do with rear. Many thing will be added later. And if you have good photos or information about moments on a first photos marked with red I will be very greatful.
Lower armor plate is missing on a tank in Bovington. And holders... Are they on hatches?

Looking good.

Neo,
Looking good.

Thank you,Scottie! I found some bad moments on photos. I'll fix them. Sometimes only macro can show the quality of the work.

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.

Greetings, Colin! I suppose almost all I will do by myself :smiling5: I hope it will be interesting.

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.

Lack of time, very little progress. I reworked previous version. Rear is ready only at 70%. Much work ahead. I am not satisfied with some moments. I think I could do better but....
Thanks to Peter Brown and Steve Jones for help!
