Thinned the resin struts for the launcher supports... 1 down, 1 to go. Maybe I'll try to get a bit thinner...
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/0/9/6/522096-11032-44-720.jpg)
problem with windshield, positioned in the middle, just thicken it to both sides?
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/0/9/7/522097-11032-83-720.jpg)
here it is, positioned to one side...
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/3/6/9/522369-11032-97-720.jpg)
tried the saw first, need to redo the right top side, but it is perfect in width, now restoring the detail, or at least try to
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/1/8/8/523188-11032-22-720.jpg)
cleaned up, ready for primer to test the result
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/1/8/7/523187-11032-44-720.jpg)
dryfit, looks a lot better
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/5/7/0/523570-11032-38-720.jpg)

thx. hope not to disappoint. already looking out for some camouflage on this one, and maybe a small change to make it an AMK instead of a standard one...

Progress was a bit slower then expected... Wheels fitted under the hull, only 1 needs a bit of correction for not touching the ground (to me it's a succes...)
Also thinned down one support for the launchers... some tedious work, but luckily the resin isn't that brittle. Further I ran into a serious problem with the windshield part. It is approx. 1.5mm smaller then the hull, and I'm very puzzled how to deal with that

i have a tipp for the windshield: you can make self; you need only a plastic from a blister. so you can scratch the pice 😉

thx Thomas, tried it first with the saw, whenall else fails, I can still try to scratch it completely...
