Built a box within the hull of the tank and painted it out dark grey so I could have the drvers hatch ajar without seeing daylight or the tan plastic...

Some fine plastic parts were inevitably going to be broken so replaced them with copper wire... A dollop of epoxy resin onto was used to add some detail to the copper... Best I could do...

Reamed out the headlights with a dremel... Will keep one open like a broken light and the other ill punch a lense out of clear packaging film...

Large mould seam along the exhausts... So replaced the detail with coiled copper wire...
