    Added some more parts to upper hull: Spare wheels rack, jack base, machine gun cover and driver visor cover, antenna rail, front hatches doors and perimeter fence and turret perimeter low shield. Rear hooks will be glued later, when I install fenders. Now no chance to understand where exactly to...

    Final bits and pieces of interior: gas masks, extinguisher and side visors From 5 mask holders supplied, you need only one. Also, extinguisher holder is unnecessary. There are already stripes on it. Extinguisher was a bit higher than upper line of armor, so I lowered it a little, by...

    Finaly got to assemble 20 shells that will be stored inside boxes on side shelf. You need to glue first row of rack arms and put shells on it and then continue to second and third in same manner. Otherwise, there will be a difficulty to insert those shells between arms Also pay attention to arm...

    Assembled radiator and cooling system Added joining flaps when glued radiator sides, because they are too long to glue by edges alone. There were no issues, but I suspect there will be later with cooling system. Not sure it will fit well above the engine. For now, only radiator attached...

    Engine is ready. Took me about a week. Sherman one from Halinski took my half a year ;) As usual none of the strips were in correct length, because of wrong diameter calculation, but I pointed all of them down and all errors are hidden. GPM in its finest :) The resembling is very very...

    Good question Chuffy! First of all, I like to look for reference of similar builds, to know all errors and to understand the correct build. Secondly i try to look for real drawings, pictures and data in the internet. But it depends on the complexity of the model. If the model is reach with...

    Seats - assembled well, but you need to attach co-driver seat arm and seat separately. Because if you first glue arm to the seat by the markings, it will not fit between wall and transmission. Driver levers are without fold lines, but on drawings they are folded. So, I decided on my own how...

    You're amusing! :lolsign: Thank you, friends Moved on to transmission box and here thing started to be complicated. Following instruction you need to glue pedal rack, part 25. But this can't be done, because there no markings on the floor and only anchor point is on transmission box. So moved...

    Thanks friends Added side walls and shell and ammunition boxes Didn't glue shell racks, part 20a, because it will block inserting shells. You need to do it simulation - one rack, shells on top, rack on top, shells on top and so on. In addition, parts 25, 25a must be glued after transmission...

    Continue to fill the interior of fight compartment. Ammo boxes, accumulators, transmission rack and some other bits. As usual, curved parts do not go along with Pi, but it will not be noticed in the end.

    Starting to fill the interior Raised platform and suspension covers There is a mistake in raised platform- no opening for drive shaft. You can clearly see that it is missing, and I cut it by myself

    Thank you, friends Inner skin glued. Dry fit showed that somehow it was not aligned with power structure in the back, though outer skin set perfectly. So, I divided it to two parts and glued before and after firewall and it did the trick. Front beam will be glued later. Also, you may notice...

    Sorry to bump this thread up, but I had to correct some mistake. Oddly two machine gun barrels were painted sand colors, like the rest of a tank. And I didn't give this attention, until some one on another forum pointed this out. In real life they are gun metal color, so I corrected the mistake...

    And model is finished! Wanted to make it in two months but took me two and a half. Still, very nice little model. I enjoyed to assembled it and the especially the challenge of paper sphere. The result looks interesting and complex, though it is not very detailed design. Final photos for you...

    Final details Main transparisteel viewport Windshield was made from slide sheet Also, I didn't like flat cannons on tips of the wings. It looked odd compared to other ones. So, I upgraded them to 3d
