Too much painting to catch up on so this will be started on a rainy or cold day.

Started

Lower hull and Running gear:

I had to drill out the torsion bar holes on one side just a little so the bar collars would fit flush with the hull. Also there's several "A"&"B" sprues so you'll have to sort through them to find the correct part number called for.

Dontcha just love the multiple A and B sprues that are dfferent? AA and BB maybe? :frantic
:good:

A seat and two driving levers are all there is to the interior,guess i'll have to wing it. :(

Tony, does it have the 4 piece inner face in PE on the rear idler? How do you handle that construction? I always find it irritating and never looks right when I do it. Thanks.

James instead of a ring it has a three piece ring and they fit btw. I use Gator Grip glue to hold them in place and adjust if need be.

That's about it hope it helps

Update

Gun:
I assembled the gun this morning to see how much room I had to work with to add ammo.

I forgot to tell you about the firewall not seating all the way down. The box on the firewall hits one of the torsion bars preventing it from going all the way down so I just cut a section out of the bar.

Confirms that they don't build a kit before release. :angry:
