Brian,
Coming on nicely.

The lifting handles are much easier to clean up if you glue them in place first, and once the glue has dried, slice off the remains of the attachment point with a sharp blade. The sharp part is important, don’t use one that has gotten fairly dull with use.

That's the one and you can get really fine blades of 70 teeth up, I know John at the shop has different teeth sizes (that's the blade, not John) and CMK do them as well.

Looks as if all's going well. Not a straightforward kit with it's many small parts. Keep up the good work.

Where the tracks join together it is normal practice to staple the join and then hide it under the 'bazooka' plates that way the join cannot be seen. If you are going to use the AFV Club workable tracks then they are a click/press fit, but can be a bit frustrating at times. They join together like the three links on the front glacis plate.

That's looking really nice Brian, I ditched the rubber bands in favour of the workable version but as Mike said they certainly can be frustrating
