Re: M51 Isherman build

About time I updated this thread so -I have built the rear deck just need to order some small bolts to finish detailing it.
Filled in all the holes on the upper hull using plastic card and rod just awaiting delivery of Mr surfacer then I can start the detailing.
I also added plastic card to the inside edges of the upper hull so there will be no gaps underneath and also so I could add the clips that Tamiya use to hold on the upper hull.
I have changed the loaders hatch on the turret from the split round hatch to the oval type I actually did this twice as the first time it was slightly out of position and the Tamiya hatch I was going to use is actually to small
when I checked my references.
As usual click on the pics for bigger images.
Just awaiting delivery of some parts so I can tackle the gun elevation and recoil before I can do the rest of the turret detailing.
Thanks for looking
Cheers Ian
