That's impressive construction Dave. Very neat and the PE is worth the effort
Coming along very nicely indeed Dave, your doing a cracking job.

Dave,
Apologies missed this up till now. Very tidy build so far. I will follow along.

That is a lot of parts in such a small space!
Thanks for the encouragement folks I've had a morning off from it today there's only so much working through the magnifier I can do. I did a bit of track laying on my railway layout for a break. I'll then do a little more but surprisingly the turret and floor fits and lines up into the hull which was pleasing.
This morning I finally got the main gun finished all 24 pieces, the turret interior and the mantlet I think attaching this to the turret is going to be interesting.

Never made a Gecko kit and on the basis of your build my eyes are saying 'Nah'! Yours is looking most excellent - very neat and tidy!

Makes the horse feel at home when they lever him in through the top of the turret….Coming along very nicely. Just one question: why are they keeping horseshoes inside the turret?
Excellent looking build Dave, plenty of detail to keep you busy
Great job on quite a kit.
A very nice build Dave.
So many PE parts and not a **** word from you! Outstanding!

Worth every penny you paid I guess along with the aggravation. 
Getting this far must be exhilarating. Does look good with a busy interior.
I find working in sub assemblies helps a little and stepping back for a while when you hit a problem does too.
Gecko's given you almost everything...did they provide a cigarette lighter?

I'm sure there's more parts in it than the real one.Worth every penny you paid I guess along with the aggravation.
