Well, you got the side screens on top of the turret to sit right - I had to trim mine to get the hatches to open.
What paint did you use for the hull?

yeah but ive still got to work out how im going to add some 'glass'

its Vallejo Air Sand (Ivory) number 71075

I started to cut a bit of clear pastic from a CD case, but eventually didn't bother as I couldn't see a good way to attach it.
Thanks for the paint info. Mine is Tamiya XF59 Desert Yellow.

i dislike tamiya paint

ive got an idea for the glass.....some off cuts from when i laminated something, thin and flexible.................and cheap!

Doesn't want to be too thin Paul, those are armoured glass on the 1:1.

Paul,
That's a great result.

[PaulTRose]

need to sort out the weathering a bit, matt coat on top of it all, then i can crack on with the bar armour

this really is a good value kit for Airfix

[PaulTRose]

bar armour fitted.....bit of a pain to attach

be honest, i will be glad when this is finished but the end is in sight

That’s a really nice result Paul!
I used a bit of clear plastic packaging to do the armoured screens around the turret, and gave them a thinned coat of clear green to get the “look”:

I also made my own slat armour, but to be honest I really wouldn’t recommend it! I have an Academy Warrior in the stash, with an AA resin interior, AA slat armour and Fruils. One of those long-term builds, when I become sufficiently unhinged enough to start it...
