Having received more info ---I was justified in "terminating"afore-said build ...as my Mk1 eye-ball had lost some accuracy (getting old) and found I was MILES .. ....out in my calculations






These and a few others are now being corrected in this new build

Part 2 ( *If at first you dont succeed--bin it and go back to base 1 * )

Take 1 MLRS kit an chop out the rear interior of top hull back


...add a base plate to fit (bad pic)


...cut out the tail section between side walls


...add hydraulics and boxes (may have to enlarge big 1)


...fitted old towers with new "space bar"and corrected -winch cable box(between towers)


...new tower extensions made and fitted


...prepositioning of winch unit (to be re -vamped )


...well as the guy said as he fell off the high -rise roof passing 8th floor
"So far --So good !"
More soon

Love the vice and compressor. Where did they appear from? An after market set or your own creations?

Glad you kept going with this build.
