So, how well does the Matorro upper hull mate up with the Asiatam lower?

Fits like a glove - the Matorro is basically a HL with a few tweaks. The only slight problem is the lack of the central front screw post on the matorro upper - they got rid of that because their gearbox was in the way.

Yes, you missed that bit. Things seem to be picking up at work, so I think I can afford the trip. The Tiger will be there for sure, I'm going to try to get the Sturmpanzer IV done as well.

Lower hull, turret and road wheels got primed today. Headlight and hull MG work to follow...

This kind of stalled out for a couple of weeks, but here's the latest progress:
Dremeled off all the tools and removed the wooden box ready to relocate later. The hull MG is done, but I'm still pondering how to mount the headlight so that it won't snap off the first time I so much as look at it...

ok, bit the bullet and did the headlamp - its a tiny bit crooked, but hopefully that will be less noticeable once I've sprayed it and zimmed around it :-\

Looks good Mart. If it's a glue that will actually stick HL plastic you are looking for try doing a search for 'EMA Plastic Weld' on ebay. You apply it with a fine brush and capilliary action draws it into the join where it melts the two surfaces together. The bonus is any excess glue evaporates instead of staining.
