Small update on the M270 as I did some work on the front section of the cab. Two out of three of the louvres are on and all the headlight assemblies were installed. Most of Dragon's instructions about the headlight placement were wrong and I had to figure out what lights went where. The front piece is just dry fitted right now and the fit is not great but that is for another day.

I did some work on the housing that holds the rocket rounds and this is the bottom part of the launcher box. Dragon's instructions continue to be abysmal with little guidance as to what goes where. I have one piece indicated that I have no earthly idea how it's supposed to attach. There are also two enormous seams to fill on two housings that go inside the box. I am filling them because I may depict this with the tubes being reloaded so they might be visible, inside.
