Thank you very much, this is my first ever use of Atak, or rather any Zimmerit for that matter and it was a pleasure to work with, other than the front of the turret, but that just required gluing my fingers to it.

Nice work, however I'll be not be using Tamiya electronics so I'll be mounting servos for main gun functions. The great news is I have a barrel assy. that works so just a matter of mounting and linking up servos. :thumbup:

For as big as the turret is the sides are pretty tight, can't wait to see your completed KT.

otherwise, there is the solution of pouring resin or gluing the inside of the existing black gable

Hello!
I've built a few of those Schumo MG kits. Made out of nickel silver, I believe..tough stuff. Maybe stencils for those markings over Zimmerit? Great Build. Happy to have followed along!
regards,
