 Shells painted and fitted into the racks with the etch straps [ 6 saved for the turret racks]. You can also now see why I did not remove the ejector pin marks as I knew the shells/cases would hide them. The upper deck was masked off then glued to the lower hull ready for undercoat and paint.  arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The hull and turret were first undercoated in MIG one shot black primer and when dry MIG olive drab base was sprayed on the parts. Started to prep the workable tracks. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Tracks were undercoated then painted steel for the pins/horns and rubber black for the pads. The track set works by glueing an upper and lower pad together with the pins captured by the pads then the horns are added. I tried the finished track on the Achilles to see how they look and there much better than I thought [ just need to add 3 more pads to complete the track ], they take time to assemble but the results speak for them selves. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Tracks are done, the spare pads and teeth in the picture are to join each track when fitted on the tank. Bronco are quite generous with there sprues as I have one complete set of each left although the carpet monster did not get to feast on any parts this time round. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

You've done really well to avoid feeding the carpet monster, no doubt it will get fed at some stage..... .. Nicely done Andy... Regards Alan
