Thanks guys. It's getting there As long as I can resist the urge to tinker and improve here and there, I'll be good with my timetable.

OK, lots of progress on my interior, now that I had a day off of work after a 7 day stretch...
Overall


drivers compartment


right sponson


left sponson


top exterior with top deck in place


and I have one last little project of stowage before I do washes and dry brushing and seal it up. I had this man pack radio in my stowage bin. Doing an image search I think it is a British HF type, but am not 100% certain. Anyways, I scratched up a hand mic and folding tape whip antenna. I am gonna put it on the battery box where the squad RTO could grab it when dismounting for foot patrol. I just need to let it dry overnight then I will finish painting it up and glue it in place



more to come in the next few days...
