Quite a few updates this weekend. Getting close to finished now.

I did finally get all the convoy lights wired up and working. Green is in the front and red in the rear.

Added the hatch helper springs. The don't interfere with opening the hatches at all. More weld beads added. Replaced some of the fuel filler doors and fain access doors with some that looked more representative of the real ones that I drew up in the slicer.

I've got some additional wiring to do in the mantlet (IR LED and MG LED), the battle system apple mount needs to be added, and then I think this is going off to paint.

That's all for now...
