Haven't had much time to spend on the old girl recently.
I made up some wooden blocks for the jerry can holders. A couple of the old ones were still in place to make copies from, although the are on their last legs.
How were these actually attached? I can see a couple of holes in the metal plate behind them, but their are no bolt holes in the front of the wood itself. I guess there is some nifty way to do it so there is no metal on metal contact with the fuel can.



As I mentioned in another thread I got myself some of the protec spray cans in 342-1166 'camouflage green'. The 4L tins were out of stock. I was going to apply the paint with a small foam roller. There is a nice youtube guide:

I know a sprayer would probably give me better results, but as I have never used one before I thought the roller would be a safe option. I also intend to paint the chassis (body on) at some stage, and a sprayer would be a bit easier for this you'd think. Decisions, decisions...
