There was a thread or at least a post on how to fix the short side of the Trumpeter Abrams turret. I can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me ideas on how to do it? The simpler the better.

Thanks in advance,

Shaun

Thanks Matt.
I had the ML Tweaks list saved somewhere and forgot about. There was a thread here during the Abrams campaign where someone explained how to do it with pics. I have too many computers, 2 at work and two at home. I know I bookmarked the thread somewhere and can't find it.
Thanks for the help.

I used the Trumpeter kit for the M1 Campaign.

I used the Trumpeter kit for the M1 Campaign.
The fix wasn't that hard to do. I can't find the pictures.... sorry.
But it was a rather simple process. I followed the measurements on the tweak list, I used .40 plastic sheet to build up the outside edges. Then simply cut smaller pieces to fill in the hollow section, once that was all set, I used filler, and when everything was dry, I used a sanding block to level everything.

Was more time consuming than difficult.
