Thanks very much Si,Interior ended up looking mighty fine sir and although some is hidden from view at least youll know you did a decent job of it
Hope you can get your gap sorted
Nice one Jakko,top quality info as alwaysStowage will hide a lot of sins Though if you don’t like sandbags then maybe stowage is also out?
BTW, it’s not rivets on that strip but bolts: the whole nose of the vehicle can come off by undoing the bolts along the top, sides and bottom, as well as breaking the track of course Here in the factory on a very early M4A2, going the other way:

That will make a great base to set off a great build.Nice one Jakko,top quality info as always
Stowage is fine by me,I just don't like like sandbags shoved on,to me they "dumb down" an otherwise interesting vehicle....changing a character full AFV into,more or less a mobile sanger!
I'm going for a look along these lines.....

... in fact,the more I look at this photo,the more I get tempted to have a bash at doing it as a Dio.... the knocked out Panther and "bridge" are definitely doable... but I've never attempted water effects before,so maybe not!!
ThanksNice one Jakko,top quality info as always
Oh, I don’t know … if done right they add a lot of character, IMHO. But it depends on how, when and why, I think.I just don't like like sandbags shoved on,to me they "dumb down" an otherwise interesting vehicle....changing a character full AFV into,more or less a mobile sanger!
That bridge is easy — it wasn’t a few weeks ago, but it is now. That’s to say, I’m no expert, but it looks to me like:—I'm going for a look along these lines.....

You know how it can be Mick...Definitely a great dio to build Andy. Why is the sarge getting threatened with the main gun
A bad case of 'Anglo Fragging' perhaps ... ? (Dead Rupert's are Good Rupert's in the immortal words of one of my Oppo's!)You know how it can be Mick...
When I was out with 617 in the first Gulf war,we had a SNECK who was such a nightmare!!
... We were all knackered after doing permanent nights for 5 months or so,and this Brummie **** got flown in at a late date,and his main phrase was," Another day, another Dollar Guys"...
.. we would've shot him there and then if we could have got away with it!!
Very true Jim .... I will for sure.Now you see it, now you don't. You know it's there though. Keep at it.
Fair comment Steve... A bit harsh to many,but back in the day,... I'd TOTALLY agree!!A bad case of 'Anglo Fragging' perhaps ... ? (Dead Rupert's are Good Rupert's in the immortal words of one of my Oppo's!)
