The Duke Finishes One Vehicle in June
This one was finally competed on the 30th, after a long time trying to find parts, decals and references. It's now done; maybe not accurate, but it's done and my British Army has now taken delivery of it. You can see how dusty it is after heading to the field to shoot off all it's ammunition

Good show on that Achilles, Duke. She’s sure fine-lookin’- a tank who’s seen some action. Congratulations on a great success.

That's impressive, Mark! What are those round-shaped fittings on the side of the turret and hull?

Thank you Gary! As far as I can determine, those were large bolts. I'm not sure why they used such bolts on this, I'll have to check it out.
