I will bring you right up to date as to where I am with this build. first up wwas the suspension, which was done in two stages and i Hvae to say the parts were over engineered. also alot of tidying up was necessary. Along with the kit I am using an Eduard PE update set which has greatly added to the lvel of detail. On the subject of detail the kit detial levls are just passable. I have also used an Accurate armour tow cable. As you can imagine quite a few bits of PE launched themselves on to the carpet and have never been seen again. I have to say that so far this is the hardest build i have done to date, mainly because of the Trumpeter kit. With the addition of a Barrel Depot 155mm Calibre 39/52 gun barrel the construction phase is over. All comments and advice appreciated.

Happy modeler Posts: 2,237 Group: Members Member #330 Joined: February 5, 2011	Hi ,well one way of not loseing to many bits to the floor ether PE or Plastic is to have an empty box on your lap. You will still lose some, but not all, another way to save bits is not to have carpet, just a clean floor and maybe a light you can turn on under the bench, this to helps me to find most bits takeing a ride. Nice build and great to see the finished product, even if it was at Telford,'I was not there last year'
