George,
This is coming on nicely

Tamiya’s aren’t the same length, are they? The front seats should in any case be shorter than the rear ones, to seat two vs. three people. If you have a modelling saw and a mitre box, it should’t be very difficult to remove a part from them, though: saw it in half, then remove a bit from one of the two halves, clean up both parts, and glue them back together. You can put a bit of plastic card or sprue underneath to strengthen it or make sure the pieces line up, if you think it’ll be necessary.muck around with the seats (eduard wants me to shorten the forward two to the same ‘length’ as the bins...not sure how well that’ll go!).
I'm not sure. I’d go for a redbrown leather myself, if I couldn’t find good references on what the real colour was.I’m assuming the seat covers would’ve been grey as well.
Steve,I thought you liked gluing your fingers together Mike?
George,Good idea Mike. I'll have a root through the missus' make-up kit...or something
Some if the weeny little 'fasteners' are just too small so I'm going to omit most of them.

Nice update George. All heading in the right direction. Have you had a chance to look at the tracks or wheels yet??
Ah, I see you’ve really discovered the joys of photoetched parts nowEduard mudguards, lights & number plates fitted...with some considerable difficulty in places!
As long as the other ones are mostly straight, it’ll be hard to notice on a vehicle with this many wheels.Wheels painted & glued in place. Some aren’t exactly symmetrical to the body but as they rotate they should look ok if/when I can get the tracks on.
You do see photos of the machine guns on German vehicles with a length of belt hanging down into the vehicle, with no drum to hold it.
