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!

Finished the off side bazooka plate arms at last and I'm still working my way through the bazooka plates.

The near side now. While the paint is curing I'm seeing what can be done with the tools on the off side infantry rides.

Does anyone know whether the convoy stripes on the rear deflector plate is illuminated by a lamp?
