Turret up next
The turret came next with a base that has 6 stiffeners added before the hull sides are added. The front was then glued in place and finally the turret rotation wheel was fixed in place. This assembly was then set aside to dry.
The wheels were lined up with the drive and Idlers being assembled and all items cleaned up. As this was a prototype with a very low mileage the wheels / rubber tyres were left in a new state.
When the turret had dried the floor was fixed in place with its three support rods and again this was allowed to set before moving it.
I decided that the angled side of the driver’s compartment should be straight instead of angled. This was done with plastic card and putty, sanded to shape when dry to the correct profile.
The driver hatches were fitted closed and a handle was added to each. The gun crutch was then installed in its open position.
