The hull is currently being weathered as we speak and the commanders cupola should be next to be done. Trying to figure how to make a good light for the searchlight.

I'm sure MV Lenses make on that will fit, and will look good to boot.
Looks good so far.

Can you recommend a store where I can buy them? Whata size should I get?

Maybe if you have a scrap light around you could try what i did on my M10 paint the inside testors chrome silver let it dry and fill the light with Testors clear window maker, not as good as the lights but not to bad either.

Looking real good. As far as the search light lens I make them by filling the void with super glue. Just make sure that the light housing is level. I fill with super glue and hit it with accelerator to speed the curing process. If you want it shinny paint the interior of the light with chrome or silver paint before filling. you can also use the Testors clear parts glue. But with Testors I found that you have do it in layers. But either way it will work and it cost a lot less the buying the AM lenses. Plus one size fits all.

Thanks Animal, I'll give the Superglue a try.

Very nice Tapper

Love the weathering, can't wait to see it finished

Tapper, I get my MV lenses at the LHS, they are a railroad item mostly, so a shop that deals with model railroads would be the best bet. Can't help with an on line vendor, since I really haven't had to look for them on line, nor can I help with the size.

Very impressed, what your showing us thus far is absolutely beautiful imho. I love the weathering, the rust, the paint color. Its beautiful!

Bravo Zulu!
