Have not built the turret yet, but have changed the MGs for brass ones and an aliminum main armament. Started on the Interior though. Look forward to your build.

I only used the Brass Mgs as the plastic ones seem to long,and I got them cheap, will not be useing any other after market items other than the one's that come with the kit.

This is a very detailed kit and good value for money multi media kit ,there are many parts.Including plastic ,clear ,brass etch. I feel that Dragon could have included at least 1 figure. So Im trying to build subsections first ,but it will be some time before I am in a position to add any paint. Its very much an exercise of cutting ,scraping and sanding and glueing at the mo. There is a lot of internal detail and one problem is that he turret detail will be hidden.So I may devise a flap somehow so that he detail is not hidden. The engine has open doors which should be enough to see in. I need to crack on a bit and then do a rethink about openings. Lots and lost to do yet.

Take your time lol, no need to rush it, its only a hobby remember, I do not think anyone will mind if you took a year more or less :rolleyes: . Its nice to see the progress where and when you have time, so have fun in your build. I know there's lots of detail in this kit, but hacking it open will spoil the effect I feel,let what shows show and leave the rest to the Imagination or those who want a closer peek . Thats how I will be doing it.
