Hi Simon
You really are a master scratcher. As scottie says "You never cease to impress."

Another lovely update Simon. Are the bump stops staying as is or are you adding the rubbers as well?Comment

Hi Joe - thank you very much
Scottie - impressive, not really, daft, definitely especially when I have a perfectly good Trumpeter 62 sat here
Jim - see above :rolling:
Richard - there are still one or two bits here and there
Steve - possibly a misleading use of the term, track bump stop seemed as good as anything but maybe track skid would be better. They are just steel plates that curve up at each side into a flat U shape. Due to there being no return rollers, and the running of a fairly slack track, once they are at speed and start manoeuvring the tracks tend to flail about - the skids stop the vertical track movement and the subsequent destruction of the track guards
Did a very small amount last night
there should be a small grille on the right of the engine deck - missing of course in the kit but present in the Eduard set
so, drilled a couple of holes through the deck then opened out with a knife
grille installed with a couple of bolt heads added to the positions marked on the etch
I also added the radiator louvre panel which goes on the inside of the hull below the holes in the deck
Had to modify it slightly by trimming the ends off as it fouled on the reinforcement that I had installed to keep the various hull sections together
I also installed the Eduard mesh over the radiators but then removed it as the mesh pattern was too fineComment
