The Dragon instructions are not very clear , but:
Have done a bit more on the Tiger:
Completed all the wheels
Had to sand this one down by about half to fit in between and line up with the rest:
The rear deck does not have panel lines for the engine hatch, so added some:
The loader's hatch was way too high, so cut it off and sanded it down:
That's all for now folks

No photo etch screens, so had to make some:
Started with Tamiya tape
and transfered over to some wire mesh, probably not to scale, but that's all I have
and cut out
Not as nice as store bought, but it'll do (Actually first time I tried this, it'll be better next attempt

)

Great build! What a smart idea for the engine grilles! Love it, especially as it's the 1/72 scale!
