Thank you Mr. Rat good to see you back in the fray.

Yeah I've looked at it quite a bit while debating, it seems that the plates at least go to the top of the lower hull where the citadel bolts on.





There's a clear shot showing the lip from the top of the lower hull where it bolts to the upper. Yes there is a small gap. But it won't be seen on mine.



Ironically I actually over complicated the center return rollers hole. Looks just like the ends with a deep "U" instead of a hole.

With the tracks and wheels on much of it will obscured.

Thanks Alan. If it's remotely close its sheer luck but thought I'd try as I hated the idea of leaving the gaping holes.

once its painted and weathered no one will notice unless you point it out mate and even then they may not

So you cut the bolts of of a Panther. I wonder if the Panther was so cooperative that you were able to get the nuts, too.

Such Jocularity Herr Dr.

After perusing multiple visors I think I'm satisfied with mine-

Yep i would be pleased with that as well mate

Like it. Yeah I find that a trick as well. Get something built and discover a new picture...

Great work Chef!
