I will skip all the gory details being added as I am going stock on a lot of the basic parts. But I did use some small self tapping screws to install the side skirts. The version of the tank I want to do doesn't have all the pioneer tools on the hull but hull stowage boxes. I pull out some sheet stock to get fabbing.

There are 2 matching boxes on each rear hull side and one slightly smaller one on the front right. I use the good old sidewalk stock to help with the right angles and measuring.
