Default at last an update

finally finishing this one off. Did my first soldering on the rear canopy tilt and have modified the Resicast 18lb gun and limber to Australian specs. Still a lot of detail work to do but it is coming along now.

Any comments welcome

Cliff, Do you need any close details of the cabin hood bows or are you not putting a hood on it?

Thumbs up

Jack I am adding the hood. I originally just used straight wire but did not like it so made another as close to the diagram you originally sent me of the hood bows.

Only thing I am not 100% sure of is the height. Can you do a measurement for me from the top of the doors to the top of the front bow for me please?

Again thanks for all your help with this model it would not have got this far without all the details you have provided

Default Very Nice !!

Hello Cliff,

Your Ford gun tracktor is looking very good.
It looks cool with the limber and gun in tow.

I have not done anything on my Ford sadly.
But I have been busy with this one..
This is the test build of the first castings.
If all goes well it will be for sale by the end of August.
