Hi guys, back with some progress.
So the upper hull is complete :
Now details of the side skirts. As you can see, they are a bit wild (the other side is more even).
I'd like your opinion, should I correct the alignement or does it look OK as is ? I mean those must get banged up all the time on the real thing, and that would add a little character. But maybe that's too much ? :
And the back mudguards, with the first of what looks like a bad fit :
And for all the track lovers out there, here is a little run. So they are in two halves, which means we need very little glue to keep them workable. here I use those blue hanging snips to "creep up" the length and make sure the last link is bonding strongly. Not too necessary really, but it's a small mercy for the tender finger tips :
A few duds (not going to clean that up since I'll do only the length of tracks that will be visible) :
And finally a little fit issue, easy to correct when matting the upper and lower hull (I leave unglued until painting and tracks are in place)
I think that's it. I appologize that the pictures seem smaller, but there was something wrong when uploading, had to reduce them a lot. Will do better next time.

Will the academy Merkava IV tracks fit it?
