Rain guard done, looks rough so lets say field mod. Brackets and cast line, close up view shows some faults.
near enough as this is a tester for the Trumpeter kit

Next little fix , hate the voids at the periscope covers. Version 2 of periscopes with surround, 1st attempt has some glue marks .
Better buy a new tube of superglue nozzle wasted.

version 3 needs less glue. with the surround its better.
fills the void , need a finer tip for the glue and the cover needs a metal replacement for scale.

The lip on the front plate is too high on the HL Panther . A thinner periscope guard makes it look better.

Not sure how I missed that photo update but I agree. The detail work and weathering really give things a very realistic appearance. Nice skills!
