Nice. How is the Perfect Scale turret? Surprised it doesn't have the armor mounts molded on.

The turret is very nicely done. The armour mounts are not moulded on so that you have the option of doing a 1A2. There are little pins that serve as placement points. I am hoping to get some drawings of the turret MEXAS armour in order to ensure the mounts are in the right place as I want it to go together and come apart as the real armour does. so far so good for the hull armour.

The rivets are Grandt Line Model Railroad rivets. I have some surplus ones, enough to do a C1 MEXAS if you need them.
