Hi John,
Impressing brass/soldering work!
Well done.
One tiny thing
The rear mud guards weren’t mirrored.
The square holes had the same layout on RHS and LHS, sorry...
Kind regards
Kent

Thanks for that Kent. I was so careful not to make them the same as I almost did. I can cut that section out and solder in another.Not finished yet as I also need to cut away a small section on each side and try making the locking tabs. Also need to make the hull hinges.
Now fixed. Thanks for noticing. I came across this before but forgot.

Got them fitted now and also side fenders. Cannot find charger for camera battery at present so photos will follow soon. I mentioned before about screw fittings for side fenders and got a few suggestions. In the end I went with Rich's solution of drilling out standoffs and fitting 1/8 tubes which were then tapped for 3-48 screws. Worked well. Thanks Rich.

Here are some parts for turret interior.
I will need to source some clasps for the lids. Also get some decals printed.
