A rather slow process on this one. After 1 and a half hours on it this week all I have managed is the hull mg bracket and several turret roof test fits.

Progress here has slowed a little as I have so many things to do including trying to build some diorama, that being said slow progress is progress, over the last few weeks with this, the commanders hatch has been done, storage bins Finnish apart from filler and hinge, engine bay sides added and mounting axels cut for suspension swing arms
