Looking real good! Yes Love the tarp especially the straps.  Mufflers too!  Oh, the wheels too!  Heck, I love everything about it...

Oooooh very nice Tony! Eye-catching in many ways...especially the asbestos tape on the exhausts. You can't get away without sharing the details on how you did that one. Big Smile

You're right it's not done yet but a lot closer than it was.Wink

OK Bill I saw this picture in my SU-76 book:

We had a roll of that paper bandage tape in the medicine chest so I cut some 1/8 to 3/16th wide strips and half wrapped it around the pipes then I wrapped that with some really fine copper wire.

As you can see it replicates the real thing pretty well.

Thanks for your compliments folksYes

Looking absolutely great Yes  Now you have convinced me to go out and get one of these.  Will be borrowing your asbestos wrap technique for sure.  Have saved your WIP for a build references.  As always, look forward to seeing more of your progress.

To me that's what the hobby is all about Rob,help yourself, that's why I post so much.Toast

I thought this build needed something to catch your eye so I added a little color.

It won't be long and she'll be headed south crossing the 38th parallel.Wink

Thanks buddy
