And one delay will be getting the money together for a purchase of tank parts from Zinge.

Okay, the white plastic would make this thing disappear in the snow that is all over the area I am in! But more work has been done, just looks like it will take some time to finish this one, (Especially since I need to have the money land, and then order the parts I need from Zinge!
Back Exhuasts/fuel-drop-drum, and trench rails will attach back here.

Yeah the snow is Sandy hitting a Canadian cold front, still coming down here.
The rough areas were where the testors and the plastic were melding, and it is best to let that cure and harden before sanding as you saw the results otherwise. I also have a full set of GF-9 Gray stuff to help smooth rough spots and any gaps that may appear.

Heavy duty trench rails, I had to bend the parts a bit, that made it easier to glue to the curve.

Now the question, with the rails, or without???

Thanks! I have been loking at how far back from the rear armor the tread system comes out, and I must have channeled the Tadpole a bit so it likely is that the treads act as a better trench rail than rails that do not move would!
