 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 regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

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!!  
Well done mate - top job!!

Looking great Andy. 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? “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

 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 Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

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