That looks excellent. I have a mate who drove these in 'nam, and then got posted to PNG. There's also an excellent book called 'Jungle Tracks' by McKay. But looking at Amazon, the paperback is now $288 !

And some ammunition

Ammo cans and Germans are separate items? For those of us wanting to build a troop and mix things up in terms of stowage.

I also see you have the searchlight mounted in the turret basket will that be mountable on the turret?

Very nice so far.

Yes they are separate.

Searchlight is separate too so could be mounted but the turret mount would be very flimsy.

Finaly got all the bits printed, had to reprint the hull again as I found a pretty serious defect, it wasn't external but it was the base of the turret ring had failed, leaving a large gaping hole in it! now I need to find time to clean up the prints and miliput the turret....

Looking at photos it looks like the Aussies were using US Jerry cans rather than a mix?

Mixture

Mantle cover sculpted last night. Exhausts (nearly forgot) printed out.

Everything is having a final bit of a sunbathe on the windowsill to make sure it's all cured properly then it'll be off to Empress
