Terrific stuff. Some very, very slick scratch work.

Very much so!

Thank you very much Gent's 
Work is slowly moving with this ,, i've started to play with the engine compartment and the cooling system ,,the rad is nearing completion ,,next with the engine itself ,,wiring and the like ,,fuel lines and so on ..
I also found a new machine gun ring to the the cab ,,will look so much better than the one i was going to use which i wasn't happy with at all .
Also started to build the winch drum and i'll probably have a play with the mount for it today .

Excellent work ! So many things to look at and ideas to save for my own builds. Cheers !

Like a jigsaw puzzle with no instructions! That's what I like about whiffing!
Looking forward to more of this one.

That is where the engine and rad will go ,,pretty much like the M4 HST ,,keeping it semi close to its little sister 
Now the engine and radiator ,,those have taken a big hit from the parts bins of doom and goodness .

Yep, that's an engine, alright!   

Progressing positively!

That engine's MOST impressive Phil! Where did it come from? 

[Wardukw]

Thanks lads 😊

That engine's MOST impressive Phil! Where did it come from? 

Kit that engine is from a Meng T-90 MBT model which i had laying around amongst the piles of bits boxes ,,I never put the engines into MBT's when ya can't see em anyway and the annoying fact is that on some kits you have to have the turret spun sideways to have the engine hatch open or you have to leave the hatches off and then you loose em ,,also ya then have V-12 engines left to play with later 

While i'm here i've been playing again today with my brand new HP 975 keyboard and man i'm loving this so far ,,so i'll update ya'll ,
I've added the oil vent lines to the engine now and got them plumed into that catch can ,,something simple but ends with good results for looks and details .,,i'm also adding  a large oil tank to the engine bay too which is a last minute thought sort of thing but it fill's a space which just needed something ,,also playing with the exhaust system too ..i', thinking of making the muffler removeable so i can take the roof off the engine bay area but leave the sides attached .
Still the ideas flow which in turn leads to more work ,,oh well

The phrase about Rods and Backs springs to mind... though I'm well versed in that art, also...

1/35 tank engines make for good whiff donks in 1/25 cars...
