Before I put this aside in favor of the Reaver project I think it prudent to present the model as it is at the moment; for nothing less than a record of the mistakes and comparison when the rebuild is effected.

I've run into a major structural anomaly that will have to be remedied before I proceed; so rather than subject my readers to the travails of rebuilding I'll work on this in the background until the retracing is completed.

It started when I first installed the tread assemblies; all looked good from the side elevated view.

and the side eye level view.

The front eye level is within acceptable limits although the left tread needs to be brought perpendicular.
It's only with the rear view that the grievous anomalies manifest..........

The engine compartment is badly askew and the right tread has a bad twist that did not reveal itself on the aligning table for some reason perhaps because there is no upper track run.
Also the left tread needs to be brought perpendicular as with the front which is of minor consideration.
All of which gives value to the use of photography to review your work because looking at the model itself the eye tends to compensate for the indiscretions.
