Following my update from last week, I’ve finally worked on the vertical links. While there’s still more to do, the process went much smoother than I anticipated. Since Sundays are the only days I can dedicate to modeling, I have to be efficient and focus on achieving the best results within a limited timeframe.

I initially considered scratch-building new vertical links, but for the sake of time, I decided to harvest the parts from an AFV Club Stuart suspension accessory set. It’s a bit unfortunate that these parts are primarily intended for older Stuart kits, and to be honest, even this accessory set doesn't perfectly replicate the vertical links as they should be. I'm not entirely sure if this is the 'best' possible solution, but it certainly serves its purpose as an aftermarket upgrade.

I spent the morning with my family and the rest of the afternoon meticulously trimming the parts, and I’m quite pleased with the progress so far. I hope to showcase the finished hull in my next update. Have a great week, everyone!
