I got a lot done last night. I got the rotation motor drilled and screwed in place. I glued the rear engine door on. I also put some bondo behind the gun mantle to fill that nasty chewed up void I created. I finished my T bracket to hold the top of the transmission cover in place as well.
Then I started to extract the hull details off the HL M4A3 hull. I kept dabbing styrene cement on the inside of the hull on the tabs that were glued in then jabbed around them with an exacto knife and then when they got loose pushed them out with a tiny screw driver. 100% success, didn't break any of them and took about an hour to do. Then I drilled and ground out the A1 cast hull to make them fit. Next I think will be the LED lighting.


Im not sure if I should mount the commanders hatch with the gun pedestal facing forward or backward. Anybody got opinions either way?
