Status: offline 		had to cutt a bit off of the machine gun pivot arm to make it fit, Heng Longs naff mass manufactoring caused it. the clip wouldnt fit into the pivot holes because the ammo box was in the way! lol, so i cut a bit off and it now works fine!

Status: offline 		couple of corrections you could make. move the cal 50 ammo box forward to the loading slot. The gun would never finction in that position. The drivers periscopes are looking at the sky....they pull out easy, and it's a simple job to dremmel a bit off to line them up straight and plug them back in to look forward. The driver's hatch never opened that way, but maybe Phil had to do it that way. Pioneer tools, except for very early war years, rarely had bare wood handles. They were normally painted OD and she shovel never a shiny silver. The inner headlamp is IR, so better to paint it a very dark wine color. Since Blitz did the work, I know it runs well.

I am already and packed just waiting for Friday when we leave at stupid o'clock in the morning (4 am)
not taking a tank, my tiger is in pieces at the moment, I am changing the track adjuster from the ones I fitted to some new ones that lock the tensioner axles properly
can't wait to get the Blizzard on the beach and throw up some rooster tails in the sand.
