Formations resin set for the bogies to add a bit more detail and back date the return roller , those bolt heads were a real pain to cut off and glue in the right place. Hull is back together now and started adding some of the details all the resin is from Formations and the PE is mostly Aber except the grouser box grills which are from Ordnance Models and the light guards are Eduard. I`ve now filled all the weld lines and glued .30 evergreen on to make the raised welds, which still needs some shaping work to be done. :) Also first proper piccy`s with the new camera, which is great now I`ve figured out how to switch it on ;)

James , words fail me, I went and took like 35 pic`s of the M4 at the IWM , I even marked the damn the hull so I wouldn`t do what I`ve done and I`ve still gone ahead and done it anyway :( Thanks for pointing it out at this early stage , they have now been removed and I`m cleaning them up ready to be re-attached in the CORRECT position.Glad I had your eye for detail casting over this or it would have kinda defeated the object of doing it in the 1st place ;)
