Progress so far, running gear done, went together pretty easy.
Turret also went together well, and the first pe placed on.

Hey buddy, I was watching the hangout last night when you mentioned the filters on the side of the turret. Just for info, they're not filters, they're ID panels that were fitted to the vehicle, usually by the crew with bungies and Velcro! That's why you'll see pics with and without them. HTH. I did try to comment on the hangout but it wouldn't let me?!

So you add pe to a already small kit hhmmmmm
Do you like to torture yourself
Just kidding
It looks good so far and even this small pe can make it look very nice
Keep up the good work

Well after some fiddly parts with the pe, the turret is done.
Next the hull with lots more tiny fiddly parts of pe.
I must like torturing myself. Oh well must crack on.
