Nice progress! Love the interior!
I'm pretty sure you glued side glass of windscreen wrong - that's why it won't sit properly.
Bottom edge of side screen should form a straight line with bottom edge of front screen.

Tom,
I will have a couple of more pictures uploaded tonight. I was going to do it now, but my computer here at work does not have Flash Player to upload them to my PhotoBucket.

Hey Pete,
Good to see you back.Ironic that I just left a post on your Blackhawk saying I could see why you haven't had time.The carrier has been a bit of a challenge to build,but I'm getting close to the finish.

Tom, Just a super build. It's nice to see such a detailed interior included in a kit. You did an excellent job detail painting it.

Thanks Joel,
I still have some details for paint and weathering to do.Add some stowage to the hull.Beyond some of the faults with fit and instructions,it's a pretty good kit.Also a really good price on Hobby Easy for under $30.Hopefully Trumpeter will add an interior to other strykers.They have the basic mold just lose the mortar and add seating,even if it is an AM kit for their earlier versions.

You did a great job on this kit... The interior is wicked !
I am also working on the same kit and I made the mistake to put in a Resin Engine set ... which is slowing my progress quite a bit ! I am looking at your pictures and trying to emulate some of your work... nice work on the NBC hoses... I was just looking at some info about those...
