1st May - wings now on!

Stuck here in Turkey on a contract for 3 weeks and between work-email-eat-bed I now find the  time to do a brief post re. trigger ;)

Before I set out for this job I luckily had two 4 day weekends free (thank you Will & Kate for generating an extra holiday) so I did manage to get some work on the 109  underway. It took a while but the wings are both now on but the internal mud shields need fettling. The passenger side one was too rusty so a replacement is on order (which, no doubt, will need fettlin' too) and the drivers side mud shield needs modification to clear the 'new' vac assisted servo. These items will have to wait for a week or so.

Front SE Command decal cleaned up a bit and measured for later reference. This will get replaced front and rear. On the searches around the net the colour scheme of this does not match the 'Tiger' logo for SE command disbanded in '44.



When I left Trig he looked like this

NOTE - rubber door stops now fitted to the front wings!

The metal military indicator/side light bezels are now at home, painted and ready to fit and I have a bunch of sound proofing and cable for the interior of the cab and the wiper motor (all aquired from my current task in  Turkey ;) ). So that will be the job for this weekend - when I get back to the UK - tomorrow.

Oh, and the front seats needed work (now in dustbin) so a complete new set are in the dining room (apparently - they get in the way of the JRT's sock-a-tug-athon). Blow the expense?
