BigGrin Hi Nem
when you get round to making your etch cradle I found that the arms are a tight fit onto the crossbeam so leave as much space as you can there. Thanks for looking and your comments

Superb work Andy, this really is a very interesting build, loads of detail in that crane especially and I agree with both yourself and Daran, the etch cradle is so much better than the plastic one!! CoolThumpUp

Well done mate - top job!! Drool Cool

Looking great Andy. Cool

Your right about the track sag return roller suspension tendered to be fairly tight, however I think a bit of sag adds to the feel of a tank and it is by no means overdone. looking forward to seeing the completed model - not long now I recon?

BigGrin Hi All
Well here she is, still needs dirtying up but the build is finished. the cables are a little too thick to allow the etch cover to be placed but it looks like a piece that was soon discarded in the field anyways. Hope you like her and the last couple of pics bring everything into perspective as both models are 1/35 scale
Regards
AndyCool

Wow!! you've done a beautiful job with this Andy and they really do look fantastic together!! Drool Love ThumpUp

You mentioned an uneven track sag between the two sides the other day but to be honest mate unless you pointed it out, it would barely be noticeable? I can't wait to see these in the diorama Andy and I believe you have some crew to go with it as well? It should be amazing when finished - well done sir!! Cool Drool
