The tracks are an eyecatcher. Looking great!!!

Thank You.
I think the Tracks are great and wish Meng would release them as a separate set.
I have a set of Fruills and these are much better.

Another great build and instructive presentation. Thanks a lot, Donald.

some work on the turret.


Getting ready to paint it.


Painted.

Finished for now.

Assembling the side bar armor, it's really quits simple.
For each side glue 3 ea. # A14 to the plate armor and 6 ea. # A11 to the bar armor as shown.


Then insert the free ends of the A11 parts into the square holes in the top edge of the armor plate and glue.

Line up the ends of A14 to the tabs on the bar armor and glue in place.

Glue 5 ea. #A44 to the notches on the bottom edge of the armor plate, then place the free ends on the 7th. bar from the bottom and glue in place.

On the front end I placed the top pin in the 2nd. space down from the corner, I didn't glue it yet incase I had to move it when installing the curved bar armor.

The final brace for the bar armor at the rear goes as shown.

The final piece goes as shown.



I hope this helps.
Donald

very illuminating work.
FYI,
the fork-like brackets in pics #61 & #65 are brackets for rods for holding camo nets away from the vehicle, & are hollow.

can you build a post Iraq war version out of it?

I figured something like that, only problem is that they are so small it would be difficult to drill them out.
This is the best I can do.

I have no idea.
