Quick update,
Some bits replaced and new bits being made....

The 'ironing board' cupboard was taken off (see last pics) and a new power box added plus 'oxygen' pipes....

The ammunition ready rack has been finished complete with wire springs which are place over the nose of the shell to hold it in place.. The traversing locking wheel has been added, the commanders seat and mounting pole are now in place, with an additional spacer added, and finishing off the pipes and tubes ready for a coat of primer hopefully today.

Have started on the fire extingushers system - two for the lower hull and three for the turret...

This is the first of the turret ones ready for primer.

And that is it for this update, as I said it is time to call it a day with the additions being added, I could add more but it would just clutter up the idea and what you can see, you can go on and on, but when do you say enough! The impression is there to give the viewer an idea of what the interior looks like.
So, now it is down to primer, paint and assembly.... Mommy is this where I get to make a paint mess just like on Blue Peter....

Wow Olderthanme!!! You're making fantastic progress on the dough thang Sir. I been following along from my sick bed cheap seat in the back and really enjoying this. A bit too modern for me, but the details are one-of-a-kind Mike!!! It's almost a shame to cover all that work with primer though. Keep it coming my friend and I'll try and keep up now...
