Thank you all for looking in and your kind comments, here is the next installment. So here we go, first trial fit of upper hull!! First dry run of the turret to make sure all the hatches open and close ok. All external brackets and handles fitted in place................. ............................so I can do the mind numbingly tedious job of filling pin holes!!!! Filler done, now adding interior parts, primer next. I have snow blindness!!!! All the main interior surfaces are now white, I think, just got to detail and seal it then weather it down to a dull roar!!!  I have also been playing with my mud and added some to the lower hull!!

Lots of green bits!!! Ran out of paint, more ordered but got the big bits done!!!  And I had to dry assemble!!! Its a big kit!!  All the hatches and panels open nicely.  Interior of upper hull completed, hatch works nicely. Now to seal it with floor polish and then start weathering!!! :D :D :D :D

I have started on the interior of the upper hull. After 2 hours of of messing around and modifying, twisting and warming gently, the upper hull is now fitted and glued to the lower hull!!! It must have been the most ill fitting part i have ever come across, but i did it!!!   Of course that meant the rear panel didn't fit, so after another hour of trimming, warming hinges gently and generaly turning the air blue, that now also fits and works properly!!
