Pe added on the right side off the hull
PE grill mounted after the underground was painted black.
New lit made for the left tool box because the original was damaged
PE Installed on the left side off the hull
Close up from the jerrycan PE holder and belt
Drivers Periscoop with wipers in PE and also the barrel holder
Dryfit off the grid, the turret is just put on to see if it can pass over it.
The PE toolboxes that will go on the turret are bended and soldered
The box that will go on the back of the hull is fitted with PE hooks and i put a heated copper wire true the cover that imitate the original elastic
More detail work on the turret
Front Mud flaps
Right side, here you can see that the rear mud flaps are folded.
Close up folded mud flaps
Nice detail off the barrel
Build 100% finished
