Second time building this kit. Not perfect but that's OK, as I don't do perfect.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/2/9/2/1268292-24952-63-720.jpg)
Engine covers from my spares box, left over Dragon parts.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/2/9/3/1268293-24952-95-pristine.jpg)
Almost a drop fit, just had to sand down the sides opposite of the hinges.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/2/9/4/1268294-24952-83-720.jpg)
Basic hull and superstuction together in a blink of the eye.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/2/4/3/1273243-24952-25-720.jpg)
Running gear ready for it's tracks. Idler and drive sprocket fit tightly and will not need glue.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/2/4/5/1273245-24952-10-720.jpg)
91 links for a well-tensioned track. Same on the other side.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/2/4/4/1273244-24952-72-720.jpg)
Filling in the turret roof screws for the L/60 variant. Trying plastic as a filler...
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/1/0/8/1274108-24952-79-720.jpg)
Take two. Missed two of the four screw heads that I need to fill. So, try again with small, plastic rod.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/1/0/9/1274109-24952-31-720.jpg)
Hinges.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/1/0/1274110-24952-40-720.jpg)
Very small. Very fiddley...
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/1/1/1274111-24952-47-720.jpg)
The first one was so small it was hard to hold and work on.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/1/2/1274112-24952-77-pristine.jpg)
For the second one, I left a "tab" on. Much easier to hold and had greater control.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/1/1/3/1274113-24952-63-pristine.jpg)
Better. Quicker. Two down, six to go.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/1/9/1286719-24952-50-720.jpg)
Ending a dry spell. Added hull machine gun barrel from Aber. Working on details.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/2/0/1286720-24952-97-720.jpg)
Festooning details.
