Update Upper Hull:     How about that interior,one lousy seat and two driving levers.  The rear deck assembly was a try this hole or that hole to find out where the parts went,Dragon keeping with their trendy instructions. Even at that it's still a nice kit for what's there. Tony lee  |

Sounds more like an old AMT instruction sheet...

"Dragon keeping with their trendy instructions."
Gives you a sense of major accomplishment, eh??

Update Gun: There's more room in there than I thought there would be.   Something I forgot to mention yesterday.  The fire wall has tabs on the lower edge that fit into slots in the chassis floor but one of the torsion bars prevent that.I dry fit the wall in the side grooves and made a mark on each side of the box on the bar and cut out that section. You may want to cut a slot on the bottom of the box for the bar to pass through and not cut the bar. Hope your weekend is being good to you. Tony lee |

Thanks for the heads up on the box and torsion bar Tony. Which part numbers did you end up using for the other bars off the 'A' or 'B' sprues? When you said the drivers area is sparse I may get the CMK StuG III kit for the trans and control gauge panel.

Update Tracks and Trim:  The tracks are tight and don't really fit the sprockets.Tracks need to be just a tiny bit wider. The instructions tell you to fill the holes before you put the tools on,NO NO NO. Install the tools and then fill the hole on the interior side for a cleaner look.    I guess i'll solder up the luggage rack next that way I can show you the supplies I use. Tony lee |

Nice work!! Seeing the instructions on the tool panel had me thinking "I don't think so" on filling those holes. As for the tracks, that's why I don't use rubber band or DS tracks, gotta have that sag be it a little or a lot  . |
