Small up date.

Replaced the toon barrel.
Made f/r shock absorbers and hatch in the lower hull.
Fitted rear fuel drums adding some missing details.
Fitted 2x side stowage boxes, fire extinguisher, spare track to front .
Added 1or rivets/bolt heads here and there.

Just the lights and wiring, tools and couple of handles and wait the front sprockets to come to finish
off the suspension/ wheels work.

Hi Pete
Excellent. Must be hard doing a Toon conversion. Scratched parts have to be in "Toon Style" but you have a huge amount of Toon experience so maybe you brain is turning "Toony" :tongue-out3:

Hi build stage complete had to re work all of the running gear as you can see, new f/ sprockets, R/ idlers and axel, make inner road and top return rollers.

Added some jerry cans and stowage for a bit of interest.
