Unfortunately the museum covered the top of the tank so I couldn't see the baffles.

�Hi

Not sure what you mean, there's defo a photo of the rear of the MK2�

in the tank articles section! confuse

The rear is the same for MKs1 to 3, so you can use my MK1 plans. �http://landships.activeboard.com/t43133490/landships-mk1-tank-plans/

Also the roof baffles are the same and only changed when they added an exhaust system.�

Hope this helps and we have some photos of your model build when you get started.

Well I have the tracks done (I thought they should be drybrushed after installation).� I hope I can get a digital camera too.

Wonderful!� Thanks so much!� I assume the two plugs in the center are fittings for the hydraulic jack.� I'll have a bunch of rivets to add, but I know if I don't tme model will look terrible.

You're welcome.

I am not 100% but I think the "plugs" are something to do with the radiator, rather than the jack.

Hi Phil

That's an interesting thought, I presumed that it was to do with the hydraulic system as they sit on the centre line.

Looking again it could be a filler, and at the bottom draining valve. Now I'm not sure!� confuse

I just looked at another photo I have, and the piston passes in front of the lower valve, so it appears nothing to do with the tail mechanism.

�I'm confused. Are you concurring or poo-pooing? It's very unlike me to be right about something. smile

Sorry took soooo long in replying - the "plugs" as you call them are, in fact, part of the radiator - the top one is the filler� and the bottom - yes you guessed it - a drain plug. Well back to researching any info about "Mother".
