After a two year hiatus I've almost completed an out of the box Tamiya Wirbelwind. I have lost some of my reference material due to a recent weather event. I can't seem to find any overhead photos of the Wirbelwind. I'm specifically looking for an overhead shot of the turret. I have done some minor modifications (e.g. hollowed muzzles, crosshairs in sight etc.) but I don't know if I have to add anything in the lower hull to make it look right.

Thanks
Henk

I think the hull (turret opening) was closed off. So if you would add anything, some plasticard should do.

Cheers

Hi Jarod ...pm me with your address and I'll send you a few pictures ...the only problem is I'm taking my computer in for a tune up and don't know when I'll be back up again ...Just to let you know the turret is not sealed off and you can see down into the hull...I'll get the pictures as soon as I can ...But you really don't see that much down there.
