    The backrest is in the photoetch provided. Good thing too, cause at a top speed of around 5 mph whiplash is a danger when you dump the clutch!

    I know. Some of the Alpine figures are close to a hundred bucks.

    Never thought of searching in railroad stuff. Thanks paddy! The scene in my minds eye for this Renualt FT is broke down and abandoned, with a curious civilian checking it out.

    It was my 5th attempt...haha. The pics show what I'm trying to model. This set held tools that are in a canvas, or leather? Roll. It's silly to fuss over it but it is right there in your face with the hatch open.

    Thanks paddy. I can't sculpt figures. Been searching for a WWI era civilian in 1/16 scale. So far no luck.

    So, since I will have all of the hatches open I'm looking at interior photos of the FT. One issue with the kit's driver area is the glaring lack of the leather straps that held various tools. The brackets the straps were attached to are basically just molded nubs. I'm working to fix the issue...

    I had a few Volkswagens back in the day 68, 72 Super, 74 beetles, and a 71 bus. I couldn't remember what those foil lines did. John Muir said that his split window bus ran hotter with the windows down. Just that little thing messed up the airflow in the engine compartment.

    Thanks Mike. It's pretty tight in there once the hull is done. Hard to see to much, but the engine bay hatches will be open.

    There's lots of footage from the Meuse Argonne. Been watching them on YouTube.

    That's the battle I'm depicting this tank involved in. Mine will be from the American corps.

    Is that the heat pipe that's closed off?

    I'm going to add a bit more where the crank exits the rear of the hull...which is actually the front of the engine.

    Getting the hull floor ready to accept the the engine, radiator and transmission. The transmission as well as the bulk of the radiator will not be seen once the entire hull is assembled. The Renault engines didn't have any seals so it was an oily mess in that area.
