The final work has been completed on the interior. There are racks of shells and propellant mounted to the floor and the back bulkhead so I had to get those painted and cemented on. The last piece is the interior section of the driver's compartment which goes on the bottom of the bow hull section. That section even has a little fan for the driver, which probably comes in handy when drag-racing through Aleppo in 120 degree heat.

With the hull interior done, it's time to move on to the exterior and this is moving much faster than the inside section. I worked on the front hull section and thoroughly damaged the headlights and the covers. I also placed the front ERA bricks and positioned them out of alignment, since these Syrian T-72s were indeed "Dirty and Battered." I also added the parts to the tops of the sponsons. The left fender will be completely gone and the right side one will depicted bent and shot up. Onwards and upwards.............
