        Ron, I love it, definitely, and the damaged fenders look nice to me: credible damage and good thickness.

          Thanks Dave for your validating words oh by the way , regarding the dentistry on that sprocket ! On my next AFV Club halftrack build I'd come to realize that I hadn't pressed the two halves firmly enough for a proper fit. DOH !!!

              Thanks Amdrew, yep this one quite nearly became a 'not-to- be'. I'm glad I resurrected it with the help of Blast Models. Been wanting to do this nearly 15-20 years I'd say ?

                Thank You Andy ! Sorry that it's not a wingy-thing for you :tongue-out: I want to try photo-etched fenders some time to compare ease of inflicting damage....

                  That is very respectable. The damaged mudguards look good, did you thin the plastic so you could bend them and make the holes?

                    Hi Jakko, yes I used the moto-tool with round burrs to thin them. I wanted bent-and-twisted sheet metal , but instead produced shredded-from-shrapnel effect. That's why I'll probably try another set of fenders. Using the mini-torch to warp the plastic is tricky though (for me anyway).

                              The great thing about them Paul, is they fill up so much space that it seems to do most of the build for you ! Of course, I say that before commencing on the searchlight assembly ! That looks a bit daunting....
