I have followed the drawing above and can confirm gear case now fits perfectly and pulleys clear the hatches and hull,(just about).
I had fitted the bearings in the motor mount with loctite 638. I applied some heat and was able to remove the bearings without any issue.

I have now started the painting process. I am happy with level of detail on the lower hull but need to do more on the wheels but for now on with the hull. Here are some photos of progress. I will have a video soon.
