Further.
Work on the 30mm Rarden cannon mantlet finally done it is of a unique design and difficult to reproduce took 3 attempts before i was happy, fortunately i have a copy of an original photograph of a FV432/30 Turret being fitted during original conversion, think i have got it pretty close, unfortunately wont upload original photo.

Hi.
Thank you Mr Brute, it is quite challenging with all the angles and odd shaped pieces but its all starting to look like it should now, bit more done the turret top hatch has been started with gunner and commanders main periscope housings added, just finding the right position for the two hatches now and then on with another 6 periscopes and hatch hinges etc.
Cheers.
