Yeah that reference kit was way out man.
Time for an interim stock check/look see of the model so far.
Bazooka plate hanging claws, this is an early mk but were they all hung like this?
How about these weathering examples?
Adding interest like previous weld witness marks, these models have large open sections with not much going on so this kind of detail breaks it up a little.
One for Mutley, I want to add your DMS melted sole imprint on one of the exhaust shields but I can't find a British boot to make it!

- Nice example of adding a little interest? The stiffener piece has been moved at some point ( probably after some damage repair ) but the weld witness marks are left showing. The old weld has been ground off but the arc penetration cavities are untouched.
-
- Those claws I was referring to.
-
- Not much tactical/use wear but a good deal of the environment! This has had some thought put into it, it's very difficult to get this to look right in scale. I bet Simon could replicate it.
-
- Or this example? Lots of "rubbing" marks on the bazooka plates?

Dem bazookie plate arms, one side is finished.

- Decided to solder the hull end joint.
-
- Ali solder is strange stuff, it doesn't flow you have to wipe it on.
-
- It's extremely strong but as it doesn't flow you have to work from all sides.

- Don't know how that got there.

- The kit fender support brackets need lots of work, they are to short, they have gaps in them and not enough fixing holes
-
- Silver solder.

- Luckily I had some spare brackets to cut the section from.
-
- It may look a straight forward job but it's actually a bugger.

- Don't know what I would do without my power file sometimes

- You have to adjust everything to get them to line up.

Re: Mr Dawe's Centurion.
Does anyone know whether the convoy stripes on the rear deflector plate is illuminated by a lamp?
