Looks fantastic Ben.
Has the front OS track guard got some original damage, or am I seeing things?

Yeah. There's two bullet holes in the front track guard, they're in the original period shots from the AWM archives so I know they're not a post war addition. Seemed only right that they stayed. Italian bullets from Capuzzo?? Who knows? All part of its story.

Definitely a prize winner from several angles. You should be pretty pleased with yourself for what you have achieved, both from the point of view of the quality of the work you have done, and the saving of an all important piece of history.
Congrats., from me!
