Turret Furniture...!

So... its been a while since i have updated the blog.  I have had a problem with my shoulder plus work commitments and a holiday have slowed things down a bit.  The gearbox is now in....  photos with my next post.

Most of the gear, periscopes, sights etc are now installed in the upper turret.

... in-fact she is pretty close to completion......  just cooling system (radiator / Fan etc) .. couple of bulkheads and drivers seat... plus check / test fuel pump... and we may be able to move under own power !!

Still got to collect "Part Worn" track from Chris McMillan.... and fit dampers and exterior bins.    The interior (lower) of the turret....  basket seats etc will have to wait for now.
