What was bothering you about the turret mesh?

Hi Nick top job mate Image where did you get the Afrika corps decals from if you don't mind me asking, I'd like to get a set for mine, I'm still in the process of getting mine to run tidy , as the stock motor I have with it isn't really strong enough so I'm looking to upgrade it,

Cheers, Lee.
