Evening all.
Thought I would report on what I have been doing today.
First off I removed the rear lifting lugs on the upper hull and refitted them at a better angle.They have been pinned for added strength.You can see in the picture below that they are now (hopefully) standing at a more correct angle.Also on the rear deck I made a couple of handles from a paper clip for the engine cover,looks better than the moulded strip did.




Next I decided I'd have a go at making the front hatches open,2 hours later one of them did.I'll do the other one tomorrow.I did this because I plan to fit a charging socket and isolator switch under them.I did not have a drill bit small enough to chain drill it so I just carefully scored around the hatch with a scalpel,got there in the end.I drilled out the hinges before I cut the hatch out.



Got some very nice periscope covers from an online shop in germany and fitted them today also.They have pins on the bottoms so once carefully drilled fit quite securely.Not glued them yet as I am decideing wether to open the drivers periscope or not,I need to find some more photos of this first.





Well thats all for now.Will post more as I go.
Thanks for your interest.
