The fighting compartment is amazingly detailed. You get all the control rods running alongside the engine and transmission compartments, plus the engine itself. It comes with the doors on both sides, but I left them off.

The inside of each side is a bit poorer in detail. All you get are the final drives, without really a good way of showing them off. Unfortunately, this area is going to have to be covered up.

Sponsons are on and the roof is done, time to close this up!
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/6/7/3/571673-24232-83-720.jpg)
Sponson guns.

And the sponsons themselves.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/3/6/2/572362-24232-62-720.jpg)
Guns installed in the sponsons. The tolerance is quite loose, so I had to glue them into place. They can elevate/depress just fine though.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/3/6/3/572363-24232-96-720.jpg)
Sponsons on, just dry fitted for now. Unlike many other assemblies, they fit into the hull very snugly and well.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/2/0/1/574201-24232-40-pristine.jpg)
Masked and primed. Lots of open hatches meant a very complicated masking job.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/5/5/2/574552-24232-39-pristine.jpg)
Shading and highlights applied. I'm happy overall, but I will have to touch it up in some places where the masking was not precise.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/4/8/7/575487-24232-20-720.png)
Added national markings and some chipping.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/6/5/576065-24232-25-pristine.jpg)
Wash applied. It's really coming to life now.

![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/6/5/577065-24232-17-720.jpg)
Aaaaand done.

Too late 🙁 There are quite a few hatches, so you can see inside. I'll probably leave one sponson off as well.
