Last few details added to the Saladin...

Tailights
Rear Registration Plate
Registration Numbers (a couple of sets will be included in the kit)
Rear Markings...basically generic markings, no squadron or regiment indicators.
UK Flag decal.





Front headlamps.
Front Driving Lamps...some Saladin's just had the white lamps, road use vehicles also had the orange.
Horn (inside its cage)
Front Markings and registration Number.
...and I will hopefully include a couple of Regimental Flashes for optional use on the left fender.
(I decided to add a UK Flag there instead)



Also added the Turret 30 cal Machine Gun, with swivel base.
It is removeable (an option of course).
And I added the MG support/stow lock on the side of the turret.





I added an "A Squadron" marking to the turret...but my paper krinkled up a bit, and I couldn't get it down really flat.
I don't want to add this to the Turret...I prefer to leave these things as printable decals.
But you need to print them on very thin paper.



I think thats it.
I have only one other thing I want to add to the model, but its not a kit included thing.
The cable eyelets that are on the turret and Hull.
I think theres about 8 of them.
I was going to make up some wire loops, but I can`t bend the wire cleanly enough,
and I can`t cut the ends smooth enough, and gluing wire to the card is tricky.
So, I have ordered some .40 plastic rod which can formed and glued more easily.
I`ll make up these eyelets and glue them in place later.


Other than that, the Saladin is finished, and now its time to tackle the actual kit.
I have to sort Pages for Parts, add Part Numbers, and then complete the Instruction Pages.
Hopefully, before the Summer, I will have a kit ready for sale.
