Beautiful, great details! You make it look so simple. How do you glue everything together after painting the whole interior?

Great Build. Picture 6 really demonstrates how cozy the crew has to get in the tiny interior.

Thanks Lenny!
To your question- with Tamiya masking tape, Tamiya Extra Thin, some super glue and a lot of patience. Those open top vehicles are a real PITA to paint so a good planning is of paramount importance.
And thanks Riu!
Not the spacious of wagon AMOF, but fitting the crew was a real challenge mainly because of structural strength related overscaled thickness of both hull and gun mount. Both the CO and the gunner took a lot of surgery to press them in their seats.

Thanks for your question, Dimitri!
All AFV of the Armored Brigade, that took participation in December 2nd 1944 Parade in Sofia had names of towns/villages, where heavy battles were fought, written on their turrets/frontal armor plates.Belo Polje(Surdulica region in nowadays Serbia) was one of these villages.
