here is some more "in progress" shots of the turret - I kinda used "gizmology" so the radio set-up is not 100% dead-on basically I compromised between a correct interior & what my shaky hands would allow me to pull off. I totally ruined the photo-etch radio frame so I just scratched it all from styrene, copper wire, lead foil, & stretched sprue...

Looking good so far Alex ...Did you use the Aber P/E for the turret sides? I've got that kit in the pile of kits to do but replacing the whole turret is kinda scary...Great job on the radio..sure does look the part fine to me...
Keep those pictures coming..

All the best

Rick,

Thanks! The turret is the original kit one with Royal Model photo-etch stowage bins & Grenade screens.

Thanks. I will try to use as much green in the camo as possible. :-)
