    Thanks Jakko, yes I had left them there while I was busy with that section, I'll remove them when I'm completing the top of the turret. Thanks for mentioning it though.

      A little more progress on the build.
      I'm reasonably happy with the outcome considering it's been a very long time since my last build.
      Jakko, I left the sprue in the turret to counteract the bending while it sets.

        That is looking very nice. Are you leaving the hull top detachable so all the interior can be seen?

          Yes the design is such, that it is removable by rotating the turret till the slots, which can just be seen in the turret ring, close to the sprue sections are reached, and then the turret top is lifted off.

                Looks as if that internal work was fiddly, looks very neat Garry .

                    With the actual assembly complete, I have started adding some colour.
                    This one will be in parade ground trim, as it has to sit alongside my military badges and other bits in a cabinet, so battle worn would not suit.
                    I have added a little distressing inside the turret though as that is not seen on parade.
                    It has been an interesting build, with the usual beginner mess ups, but it has been enjoyable nonetheless.

                      Nice progress
                      Looks very well detailed, and the internals will make a lovely contrast for when you peek in after assembly
                      Nice work Garry,

                        Hi Garry
                        A really neat build. Always nice to see colour go on.

                            A view inside the turret cage, where I have tried to show some wear. My skills are still developing
