I got some more work done tonight. The first picture is actually a 1/35 model I built about 5 years ago, I'm using it as a reference and its kinda the inspiration for the project. So when I'm done hopefully this is what it will look like. Well except the missing turret and what not. [sm=teeth_smile.gif] I started pluging the turret. For the old cupola hole I left a slight lip so I'd have something to glue the plug to. All the plugs are .040 sheet styrene by the way. You can also see the build up for the turret crew doors- they will need another layer of filler and then should be ready for the details. In the picture with the doors installed you can see how I modifyed the hinges. I also started building up the front. First I shaved off the right lift hook and saved it to move it back. Then I cut the front hull back. I removed the drivers window and filled it in. Then I scratch built the new drivers window. I test fit the right gearbox to make sure the bow gunners area would still clear with the front pushed back. It just clears it luckily.
