I wasn't going to put the turret on the tank yet but I needed to verify some clearances. I would surely love to know the last time this tank had a turret sitting on top. It would probably be over half a century ago.

Thankyou for your comments and yes I am very proud of my achievement. David, this one is Wombat and I guess I should be putting their names back on them now

Looking awesome, well done Colin.

I have a few of those internal bits we discussed. I also had some of these cable covers cast a little while ago, would you like any or can you source what you need?
