More on the StuH . I hate etch . The stowage rack took 3 attempts, I just hope it stays where it is and doesn't come loose .

I'm getting nervous just by looking at that stowage rack. It looks nice.

I know what you mean Guy, I reckon the AB might blow it off later . At the moment I'm thinking of laying a tarp over a quarter of it, that should fix it well and truly in place

Stellar work on that Paul........and that will make the rest of the build a real nail biter. "Please don't hit the rack......Please don't hit the rack........"

I did one of those racks on my Achilles and filled it up with stowage, but I think it will also look smashing empty with just that tarp, because than you really see the rack..

A tarp should cement it firmly into place.

Still not sure about the baggage rack. But it is quite stable, don't ask how I know . Anyway I moved a tad forward today. Takom are a rather annoying bunch, I put together the remote MG34 and discovered they hadn't added the drum magazine . So after a quick look through the spares box I found an old Verlinden drum which fitted. Also Takom don't even mention the commanders binocular sight , the parts are in the kit, but if don't know how to mount them you're buggered. As I am leaving the commanders hatch open, something needs to go inside the casematt, so back the spares box to find a figure . The dude I am using is a mix of Tamiya body parts, it doesn't need to look perfect, just good enough to look like a commander from above .

Great moves on the commander and the drum magazine. Nothing you can't tackle.

Cheers Guy-bro . I might add a little more to the interior yet, radio equipment on the left, MP40 behind the commander, casematt floor and possibly a breech for the gun . Also need to find some headphones for him

Great eye, catching those missing details! The figure adaptation looks great, too!
