There are a number of other details on here including spare wheels mounted at the back plus other details that could be added.

Alwyn I plan on setting up the brackets and spare road wheels. I'll also mount spare tracks with brackets.

I've been following a build of another 1/16 Nashorn on RCTR forum..might be worth you checking it out Carl. Unsure if I could take the link without permission so a few pics..

Good stuff Jake! I see the radio cabinet and equipment in the corner! Excellent detective work

Absolutely the right approach. The kit is just the base and then you should individualise and modify it to what you want your tank to look like. There's also the periscope binoculars, machine gun mounts and maybe a couple of machine guns, tow rope, tow shackles on the front, tarpaulin tie downs on the edge of the upper hull etc. I can't wait to see what you turn it into!

Here's a nice shot in a smaller scale of the radios and enclosure

My version of the radios and enclosure for ammunition. Going to start to figure out the lower hull and how to allocate space for the electronics tomorrow night

Wanted to show anyone who has been interested in the build where I am at so far...

The build is going very well with the help of Mr Alwyn Turner. He has been kind enough to print me some more bits and fabricate the two machine gun holders. Michael C provided me some spare parts so many thanks!

The radio has been updated and details added.

I made metal spare road wheel holders and brackets. The spares are removable.

The exterior has received a first coat of Vallejo acrylics dunkelgelb after much sanding and priming.

I cannot tell you how much fun this has been for me and the level of support from so many on the forum

I've yet to finish detail the gun so that is still in its base coat.

My camoflouge pattern is still in the works...
