When I tried dry fitting the cab base it just doesn't work with the winch handles and the steering column so had to cut them off and will refix them a bit later on. Pantherman

It's surprisingly therapeutic cutting and cleaning all the part's.......... I reserve the right to correct that statement later. PM

About those tracks: I would leave part TR3 off for now. It's the rubber block, so if you don't fit it yet, you can paint the rest of the track in a metal colour and the blocks rubber, and then install them without needing to be careful about which paint you get where.

Thanks Jakko. Much appreciated. Pantherman
