It's really coming along nicely there Terry! That video of them driving the restored one around showed just how tiny this little beastie was. The Sargent guy practically had his knees up to his chest. Definitely needed midgets to drive and operate it.

Curse you Terry. I pulled out my 2 Meng kits and started looking in the boxes until I realized what I was doing. Luckily I put them back on the shelf quick. Now if I could jut get them out of my mind :idonno

Closed up the hull, added handles to the ammo cans, a padlock to the tool box, boarding steps, and lift rings.

Very nice update Mr T . I had bees sort of wondering where the starter crank would go but I believe I saw it this trip.
Are those sixteen round shapes supposed to be the ammo ?

Cheers, Christian B)

That crank can be used inside or at the rear of the tank. Yes those are drum magazines for the future machine gun.

Thanks

That makes more since otherwise they would be very short shells.
I still remember those cranks from when I was still a knee high.
My Dad's Diesel truck would have to be hand cranked . Sometimes he won and sometimes he wound up on the ground . Hooray for better starters and bigger batteries.
