Well I found a little problem that I would not have figured out unless I did this project today.....but more on that later...</p>

I started the upper hull today....broke out my 1:35 model for refernce....</p>

</p>

and pulled out the angle finder.....</p>

</p>

shows 30 degrees....thats 60 degrees off 90....tht is a lot different than the kt...</p>

</p>

Its showing 37 degrees so thats 53 degrees off 90 so the front armor needs to loose 7 degrees from the front.</p>

</p>

and adding around 6mm of plastic gets my 60 degrees......Have you seen the mistake yet?
Next I cut the side plates flat and added some plastic to fill in the gap madeby the new armor angles....</p>

</p>

Then it hits me.....On the e50, the front armor covers the side plates</p>

</p>

</p>

the side plates peak through lower front armor but just a little it for the toe hooks .....so my first stab at making the upper and lower armor are fubar....this is very different than the kt...back to the cutting boards.....</p>
