Well she's almost there... finished the last bit of soldering ...copied a schumo periscope guard... and put a coat of color/ texture on the Hull ... also sorted the problems with the turret...I have to say.. I'm really liking her a lot

Thanks for reminding me Painless...

...Had a break in the rain...ran out to take some pics
Here you all go

sorry for the blur... this was one of the last shots... the rain was starting to come down again.. if it clears.. maybe I'll get a better shot
unfortunately this is the side that bothered me... it had a huge gap pulled a little trick out of my sleeve.. sealed it up pretty well

this was the first shot...no blur

...didn't have to rush
yeah yeah yeah...I know...no grills in the vents...

small drops just coming down...starting to rush

rushing.. little blur..not that bad........yet

Just in case.. thought I'd note that the periscope guard is made of brass rod

Good Evening,
Alpha, looking sweet especially the faux-Schumo periscope guard. ;o) Rainy here today as well so no primering or painting, just electronics nonsense.
regards,
Painless
