Well, this one was already started to build in Fall. Didn´t bother to do WIP pics to get this one done. The quality and detail is first rate, I am very impressed! What I cannot understand is why I got a 2mm gap inside of the left fender?!? I glued all necessary parts, and the fenders have the same lenght, but...
All photo etched parts seen here are already included in the kit! Nice!!
Today I closed the gap using my wax spatula device. A coat of primer will show how good I smoothed this out. But first the kit will get a bath to get rid of dust and other stuff. Should be dry tomorrow.
So, here are the pics to show you how it looks now. Any comments most welcome!
Hell of a gap!

The PE part in the middle of the hood has been soldered for added strength.

I'm not a tank guy, but I recognized Mr. Churchill by the big cigar in his turret!
NIce progress so far. The gap occurred only on one side?

Yes. Only on this side. The other side fitted nicely.mostrich wrote:...

Looking good, Thomas. but, the wheels seem a bit tiny to be of use on the road..
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
