That is where the turret mounted .30cal can fold down into to protect it Herman

My twins arrived today also safe and sound. The box with both of them is about the same volume as a regular HL tank. Can't decide if I'm going to do an early and a late or an early and a Brit version.... Decisions, decisions.

I'm a bit of a Stuart-rube here, still figuring out the ins-and-outs of my kit. What will you need to do to it to make it early or late or British?

My Stuart arrived today: I opened the outer shipping box, carefully opened the decorative inner carton, took out the tank, and before even opening the box of parts (still sealed as I write), I tried to figure out how to get the upper hull off. I just want to see the insides. "Howzitwork?"

Remove the treads and there's 4 more screws to remove, plus the two at the back. Just like a HL Tiger. Yaaaay!

Unh-hun. Hidden screws...I paintfully remember the fun with those years ago. I did some

for a while trying to figure out what fasteners were used and where they were hiding.
