Some details on the M48: I have used FC Model Trend’s excellent stowage locker handles to replace the kit moulded-on blobs; I would highly recommend these for any US model that has them - in my opinion they really make a difference:

It’s fiddly to say the least, but again, in my opinion, worth it, bordering on the essential:
Also visible is the searchlight cable; I thought the kit one was a bit weedy, so replaced it with some lead wire:
Looking good, Brian!
Chugging along nicely Brian.Im looking forward to doing some nets on a Leopard.I always think nets on Leopards and Chieftains etc set the builds off a treat.
Excellent work yet again Brian
