I give a part round shape with suitable rod on a computer mouse pad pillow. Then i wrap it on same rod and glue together with little strip bellow the edges, so it will connect edge to edge.

For cut edge painting i use simple water colors in dry form. You can check it in first post, where i display all my tools and paints. With them you can mix every desirable shade.

Lately my build speed slowed down, but there are results

Assembled mounting brackets for the leaf spring towing hook and flanges for mounting deep wading equipment (please someone tell me what it is? )







Also assembled tracks tension mechanisms. As usual, the design of parts was thouthfull and it eased a lot in the assembling of whole unit







Attached all parts to their places

Impressive level of detail Igor.

[Abir Merlin]

Igor , every time when I see your work I amazed again, it is a beautiful art.

Igor, you say your build speed is slower, but look at the quality. Speed is not the key.

[Amazyah]

Wow! Awesome detailed work my friend! I look forward to your progress.

[Igor]

Thank you dear comrades!

I finished rear part of the hall with exhaust mesh, exhaust pipes endings and extension pipe to crankcase dry breather







And everything installed in place

[Igor]

I forgot to mention, that i decided not to glue mesh screen (part 201) that suppose to cover exhaust endings.
I will try to insert it inside the upper hull part in later stage.
That way will give maximum view of the rear and engine compartment, when upper hull will be removed

[Kevin WS]

Good idea with that mesh Igor!
