Steven,
The details are what makes this model stand out from all of the others that get built and not detailed, well done.
Cheers, Mike.

Improvised add on armor progress - i know they look bodged and that's the idea

Goodies in the mail: the SARAB 1 nice details on this from AGV

Not really a thing of beaty ,the SARAB-1 perched on the turret but hey, we are not concerned with esthectics here.
I had no good pics showing positioning on the turret so i played around with it
Further digging on the web confirmed placement to the rear of the turret. The specs on the type 1 supports this as the type 1 only had 80 degrees coverage covering most of the turret , engine deck and driver' s compartment leaving the rear uncovered - type 3 has 360 degrees coverage but i have only
seen this on MBTs
A bit of wiring will be added to the back

With the top cover:

Panzer art roadwheels need to be drilled out to fit the axels i do not have a proper sized drill for the job and the results are less than perfect as the wheels will be on level pavement they need to be flush so i am off to the hard ware store to buy a drill
....and yes, i managed to drill all the way through the hub cab:sad::sad::sad:
