Outstanding job on the fuel lines. I made them a few times but now I use aftermarket ones, yours are perfect.

Thanks André! Lots of bending and testing as you know. I'm getting myself ready for the slat armor construction, and will definitely go with your tip of making a jig. I've been following YOUR T-62 build, and your anti-radiation cladding on the turret is awesome!

Thank you hiveloc. I'm now (with a pinch of salt) placing the turret slat armor supports. When it's done (hopefuly correctly), i'll share their detailed placement locations by lenght and height, so anyone trying the same build won't have the same trial, error and elbow grease experience. Also following your build.

The turret slat mounting is going to the top of my NOT FUN list! I had a sheet of paper full of measurements and helpful tips from @André Silva, but I still ended up spending too much time testing and fitting everything in place. An unfortunate tip-over during construction had me re-attaching some of the parts- sigh.

That slat armor looks cool, but also like a heck of a lot of work.
