Very nice — APCs and IFVs almost cry out for an interior, and this one is looking good

Cheers Jakko,
Getting very near the end for the interior, will be pleased when I can get onto the build phase. But agree that APC/IFV's do look better with the interior.

It’s IMHO the eternal problem of models with an interior: you’re basically building two kits in one, the interior and the rest of the vehicle. I’m always glad when the former is finished and the “real” model can begin

Is a toilet roll part of the normal equipment of a Warrior?

Can I see punka Louvre's in there!! Attention to detail is brilliant. Of course the real coup is the bog roll!!!! An army may fight on its stomach but the waste has to go somewhere!!! (Doesn't it????)

Try sitting in a locked down 432 when all that was available was an empty lemonade bottle, a carrier bag, and government issue tiolet paper.... buying your own was a luxury.

I can't recall being in any Army vehicle that didn't have a roll of Army Form Blank in it some where.

 

[Jim R]

That's a stunning interior.

It was a long time ago but!! I'm sure one of my ex Army workmates showed me a publication for 'squaddies' regards the use of; 'bog roll, soldiers for the use of'!! Or Defacating al la Pongo!!!! Am I imagining it or did such a document actually exist!!!!

Personally sticking ones stern section over the side of a ship was the navy way!!!

Just caught up with the great work you’re doing

Question - why this reply twice ????

Update,
So the hull halves are now joined, no real problems that three hands could not have solved - so while getting the front end glued the rear panel developed a life of its own... But not a real problem as the c/a actually helped lubricate it into place once the clamps were put to use. Left for a few hours and then went to work with the fillet/putty to fill in the few gaps and to re-profile the top of the door opening and roof profile, this was left overnight to dry and then sanded down.
Next it was time to do some work on the turret...

This is the main centre turntable and ammo box storage and all fitted to the lower turret plate. Still more work to do here including adding the boxes to the inside of the turret itself.

Some etch grills added along with some homemade tie downs ready for the shovels....

Here you can see two of the three new mudguards fitted with part of the last one still attached to the fret in the lower right of the pic. And now time for a break...
Cheers
Mike.
