Excellent Tony 
I didn't get the tracks fitted today because something came up.
I received an e-mail from L. Limprecht in Germany with a copy of a hand written letter from a real Bison II crew member on Apr 19,1988
One page shows a portion of the interior lay-out:
Two metal boxes that held seven rounds and he said the other three were laid on the floor under the gun and covered. He also said a couple of halftracks followed each Bison carring 25 rounds each for resupply.
Also note that the gun trailing arms didn't extend through the firewall like portrayed by the Alan kit.
How the kit goes together:
Anybody got any ideas about where I can get the extra room to move the gun forward like it should be??????
Thanks

Not even sure what you're talking about but it's looking good.
Chop and channel??
Chop and channel??
CHOP: Take a section out of the window areas and then re-attach the top so it sits lower.
CHANNEL: Cut out the floor and lower the body over the frame. You retain stock chassis height but the auto looks lower.
SECTION: Remove a section out of the body sides front to rear to give it a more streamline look. Or from side to side to shorten or lengthen the body.
Got It Now?
