In real life these parts look a lot neater than in the photos!

Some more progress with the IBG 1.72 Scammel Pioneer Tank Transporter kit with relative success with etched brass parts. Both ends of the chassis required further Swear Jar inducing battles with small etched brass parts but this time things went reasonably well. I must be getting my eye in with these tiny parts. Most of the construction related to the winching mechanism with various pullies and rollers.

The only issue I have with the above photos are that digital photography is cruel in its sharp detail and with a camera phone the focus is not always that good in close up shots! In real life these parts look a lot neater than in the photos! Given some cleaning and a coat of paint, all should look good!
