SPA Modeler

Thanks guys. It's getting there As long as I can resist the urge to tinker and improve here and there, I'll be good with my timetable.

OK, lots of progress on my interior, now that I had a day off of work after a 7 day stretch...
Overall


drivers compartment


right sponson


left sponson


top exterior with top deck in place


and I have one last little project of stowage before I do washes and dry brushing and seal it up. I had this man pack radio in my stowage bin. Doing an image search I think it is a British HF type, but am not 100% certain. Anyways, I scratched up a hand mic and folding tape whip antenna. I am gonna put it on the battery box where the squad RTO could grab it when dismounting for foot patrol. I just need to let it dry overnight then I will finish painting it up and glue it in place



more to come in the next few days...

The interior looks mahvelous. Wow.

Well the Army has been ordering from Amazon since before Amazon was around








Are you hungry yet????

Thanks partner. yes I have a few cases of them in my garage from my Army days as emergency supplies. They are not too bad. Some better than others.

Today I have been at my bench on and off all day...
