Dave .
See what you mean about having a high part count, but you've done really well , very neat and clean looking . Keep going please .

[BBdave]

Onto the turret this is very delicate there's only six thin struts holding the rotating floor section I'll be amazed if it survives, the radio is on with its guard and the ammo tins for the besa. The main gun is going together a few more bits to go on that. Small steps and it's slowly getting there.

It is looking very good though!

Dave,
Apologies missed this up till now. Very tidy build so far. I will follow along.

[Ian M]

That is a lot of parts in such a small space!

[BBdave]

Thanks for the encouragement folks I've had a morning off from it today there's only so much working through the magnifier I can do. I did a bit of track laying on my railway layout for a break. I'll then do a little more but surprisingly the turret and floor fits and lines up into the hull which was pleasing.

Excellent build of a very intricate and delicate kit. It’s coming along really, really nicely and deserves to be finished, more so because the actual vehicle has meaning for you.
All the best

This morning I finally got the main gun finished all 24 pieces, the turret interior and the mantlet I think attaching this to the turret is going to be interesting.
