A few more phots as I progress.. All the road wheels are painted..I need to do another coat on the hull.. Missed a spot next to the drivers hatch.. And I need tohone my photography skills.. Shot of the hull is a bit washed out, its not as light to the eye... Any and all comments are welcome...

Hello Dave,
Very nice! I have the kit but it is a few back in the "to do" pile. Only one observation.. Aren't the handles on the "wire cutters" supposed to be wooden? That just stuck out to me. But I enjoyed the pics very much.

Best Wishes,
Walter

I believe the insides of the crew hatches had the base external color, rather than white. Plus, those periscopes in them were Bakelite.

The inside of the hatches were often painted in the internal colour. The longer handled wire-cutters were made of tubular steel , and the handles were often insulated. Nice job so far Dave.
