Pzkpfw 1 Ausf C

[aaron]

Thanks Tommy and Monica.

Monica some equipment is just a dry fit because I'd never reach all the tools when detail painting so I get what your saying.

Looks good so far Aaron. Lots of fiddly bits but coming along well.

[aaron]

Thanks Joe, you're right about the fiddly bits.

So the turret is pretty much built.

Then there is this gap, the fit of this kit is beautiful so I don't think it's a fit issue. There are only 4 pics I can find on the Web of this afv and none have a clear shot of this. I dont know weather to fill the gap or not.It is on both sides and I'm scratching my head over this.[ATTACH]99785.IPB[/ATTACH]

My solution is to run a little glue into the gap to fill it slightly then paint it as a panel line.

[aaron]

Yep, I didn't know if it was supposed to be there or not. I'll just fill it. Thanks Scott.

[Guest]

It looks almost too regular to be a gap Aaron - are you sure that it's not a place for something to fit in there?

If not, I'd fill it.

[aaron]

I was hoping you would drop by Patrick, it really does seem like it is supposed to be there.

This is the only pic in the destructions showing the angle.

[Guest]

Having Googled the kit, I found this image - not sure, but possibly the guy filled it in the same place?

If not, there's definitely nothing in that spot.

[aaron]

Yessir that is the spot. I'll fill too, thanks Patrick.

[monica]

maybe just an over site with the mold for it,?

I think if Patrick says it ok i would mostly be so,

found this may put your mind at rest,dose not seam to have any think in that spot,

think what im going off is a little different in model,but much the same

Thanks Monica,I had made the comparison between the two c turret and they are very similar. I plan on adding some more weld seams like the two has.

[aaron]
