The Review can be seen: Staghound III Review (LINK)
When I did the Review, I built the Turret and used a half-built Staghound I hull to give a brief idea of the arrangements.
I strongly recommended as well, that unlike the instructions in the Staghound I, the build sequence is much more logical. Typically, it's quite a complex kit and the easiest way to build it (due to the large number of TINY parts) is to break it down into a series of sub-assemblies.
First Stages...
I had already built the (modified) Crusader Turret for the review. As i'm going to be putting crew in the hatches, I left out the breech mechanism for the 75mm gun. Here's the turret with only a bit of cleaning -up to do:

I then moved onto the basic hull shape and added the drive shafts and the leaf springs:






The quality of engineering of the kit is so good that no fit problems were encountered. My only gripe concerns the Leaf-Springs. Each of these is moulded in two parts which, no matter how much care you align them with, still have a seam in the middle. Rather than using putty, I used the Mig Productions acrylic paste as filler. It's NOT a perfect solution but as the springs won't show TOO much, i'm not that worried...

Putting the hull and sub-frame aside, I built on the Engine hatches - no it ISN'T graffiti, it's just easier to mark up these according to the instructions:

Putting these aside, I added the detail to the top deck. This consists of two, angled brackets - probably to close-off the shot-trap under the turret. A siren is also to be added and the curved rear-intake above the engine grille:


The Engine hatches in place (but not glued yet):



Finally, another sub-assembly, the rear exhausts on the rear plate. These DO need a bit of filler to get rid of the join seam. I'm not too bothered as there will be a PE cover on top of them..:

More to come...
