Hello Andy,
Thankyou very much indeed for such an in-depth explanation of how to do this, how to avoid the mistakes and especially so for the pictorial guide, it is very much appreciated and I feel fully prepared now for what is to come my way at the end of the week! It's so nice that people are willing to go to such lengths as you have to help others and I hope I can return the favour sometime. Top stuff Andy, thanks again and I look forward to more of your updates, looking very good mate.
All the best,
Bernie.

 Thanks for the kind words Jack, a couple of bits went awol but there was stuff on the etch i could substitute and broken chains /retaining pins missing gives a little more realism i think. regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hello Andy,
Very nice work there sir, that's a lot of small etch and as Daran has said, it ain't easy when it's that small but you've done a great job with it Andy, she's starting to look very busy and very realistic. Thanks for the update, much appreciated and keep them pics coming, I'm looking forward to them!
All the best,
Bernie.

Thanks Warthog for the thumbs up,got to say that things have changed so much since my last plastic kit around 30 years ago what with etch and proper metal tracks,plus some of the etch suplied is so small you need a microscope to see it let alone try to fit it  .still im quite pleased with the results so far now to finish off the painting and tracks regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hello Andy,
Nice work there mate, top stuff as always and looking like it is nearing completion. Now comes the difficult bit of doing the final painting and weathering, eh? Impressed with the amount of etch you have fitted to this kit - she's looking good! Keep the pics coming.
All the best,
Bernie.
