Looking good. If you dont want to add a crew and a big gun you could always do what Saul is going to do and add the AA gun. Link to review and pic from Saul.

OK GGGgggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddddd MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg ... :woohoo: Modeling World !!!! .......... ldguy

I like the ideal of having that AA gun in the back of the Tractor ..... very interesting ideal ..... I'll have to do some research on different options available .... Saul must be the goto man ..... so input I need Input ....... ldguy I'm working on the back cargo area this morning ...... ldguy

 

[Swordsman]

Okay onward Thru the fog ....... !!!

The track look simple enough ................. they snap together ..... ldguy

Now I'm looking at these destructions ...... I see gaps in the track ..... One of ya'll professionals tell me do I glue all the joined treads together & glue them ???? ...... :facepalm .......... ldguy

I decided to start on the troop Box ...... Sorry James I could see maybe one of them four AA guns back Here but due to the central location of the Cab ...... don't think a Howitzer would fit ...... I may try one of those in the future ..... I :love the ideal ........ ldguy

So here's the construction of that part ......... Don't be alarmed I could still put some AA-Guns in Here ...... :hmmm great detail in this Kit ...... I like Trumpet Stuff ..... ldguy

Now Here's the bottom of the frame for this thingie ........... ldguy

Two last Photos of the Cargo Box on the frame ...... I'll leave it separate until I get My paint order in ..... ldguy

That's all for this morning C & C Welcome ........ ldguy

Nice construction so far, not sure what to tell ya about the tracks. Never built any like that and i'm far from a professional...

 

[Swordsman]

Tanks Ed & MP ..... I guess I'm hooked on the Dark-Side ...... I'm Purdy sure that's what they want ..... all You have to do is put some little words on the destructions ..... to help a way fairing sojourner ..... on this journey ...... ldguy

Thanks Ed & luiz ..... I dug the bench seats out last night ..... all I need are the artillery crew .... & a M20 and this thing would look Purdy good pulling all of that ...... I'll see if I can get the paint expedited .... Cuz looking at the destructions ain't much left to do .... but the cab, and it has windows ..... I must study that before I proceed I might have to paint the cab before glass ..... I do have a driver I guess I could assemble ..... ldguy

Winders? We don't need no stinkin' winders!! We'z ona Mac!! :pp
all joking aside, ya'd be betta off painting first then install winders... ldguy

 

[Swordsman]

I put these little hooks up in the top corners ..... on the back ...... ldguy

I installed tow hook ......................... ldguy

Not sure what this little thing is but it goes in the little holes on the side next to tow Hook .... ldguy

Now We come to this option ..... seems there is a styrene one and a clear glass one .... I'm guessing so you could paint out of the clear one so she looks like there is glass ..... ??? .... ldguy

 

[moon puppy]

Exactly Gerry. Tricky painting but it looks good when done right.

I was afraid you were gonna say that ....I suspect ..... it is to be white (clear) and not red ..... ldguy .... This thing is tiny also ...... hmy: :woohoo:
