I've started on this while i'm waitin' for some items to come through for my Kleine Panzerbefehlswagen!
For this i'll be usin' Eduard's new PE set and an AM barrel.
I've assembled the side and rear plates to the tub chassis, and everythin' fits together very well, as it should. On the edges of these side plates, holes need to be made in advance to accommodate the ammo cache on the rear, so some dry-fittin' is in order, respectively.
The brackets for the fender struts are left on, 'cos the plastic parts are real nice and thin and are equal to the PE parts.
The glacis part needed the right hole sanded and filled in for the german version, but I also did the same for the left to cater for a small PE support part. This fittin' supports a horn, which is made redundant on the german version, but which should still be there. Also the machine gun mount has been assembled in place, for which holes needed to be made to accommodate 'em.
The wheels supports are now in place!
The lower hull front plate, and side plate panels ends needed some attention, 'cos they have some pretty noticeable sink marks that will be viewable once the model is built. So some liquid putty was in order!
I added some weld seams around the tow rope bolts with the liquid putty, also.
