The two sights on the top of the turret for the Cmdr and gunner have been made up, painted and will be added after the basecoat is laid down...

I have also started adding the armoured glass for the turret....

Three more to go and that is that little job out of the way - next it will be adding all the bolt heads that are missing and then onto the two turret hatches.
More later.

Update,
The turret build is now complete and ready for priming and paint.
The items like the m/g mount and antennaes will be added seperately.

Bit like showing the boring holiday snaps - and here is one of little Jimmy learning to swim with the Dolphins - never realised Dolphins had teeth that big.....
More later

Update,
Turret is now under a coat of primer and ready for the base coat.
So while that was drying off, I reworked the GPMG (call it what you want it is still a GPMG).

The camera would not go down far enough for the focus, so had to put the pics through photoshop. Not happy with the gas regulator, so will change that and add the front legs before priming/painting.
Now waiting for the tendons to heal in my fingers after the dog decided to chase a squirrel and take three of my fingers with him via the lead. So as this is my good hand, spraying will be a bit of fun using my other hand, but we will get there.
More later
Mike.
