Made a start on removing the rear air vent and cutting out the vision panels in the commanders copula.

Still a bit of sanding down to do a trimming aroung the vision panels, but my hands were getting a bit twitchy, so decided to call it a night

Filled and sanded hole where air vent was removed, plus a little repair where the dremel slipped

Just for something to do, I fitted the handles to the front hatch covers.

Used small magnets to hold hatches shut, that way they won't flap about when tank is running over rough terrain

Back soon

Primed up and painted some parts this afternoon. I can now get on with the suspension while I am waiting for other parts to arrive.
