From here, looks perfectly aligned. Nice and clean build so far.

Thanks Marco. No one will ever see the underside anyway.

Fingers are still crossed just in case. As the doors will be open I will need to paint this in stages, otherwise it will be impossible to paint well.

I will also need about two ton of railway ballast.

Interesting choice, watching with interest as I'm sure you have a super scene in mind for this.

Thanks bwilt and snipersmudge. Since these were troop carriers and from what I have read in war memoirs, the soviets were not the most hygiene of troops. Therefore, this will be filled with all sorts of detritus, scum and excrement even. Started with rotten straw from cut up grass, some powder snow effect and some leaves. Once primed and painted the inside should turn out to be rank.

Here is the most pointless bit of PE in the history of modeling.    I suppose that is Miniart for you!!!!!

The way you describe what will be inside that wagon makes me think this will be a diorama one can smell from a mile away  Sure sounds like a great idea! And that stove, that PE is a bit like a tanks'full interior, and then having all the hatches closed..

Pointless PE is not just a Miniart thing but that one is definitely a Good medal winner!
Great work with the interior Tommy.

Turns out though, I got the fire upside down.
Still would not be able to see it though.

Beautiful details, Tommy, and that's what brings realism to a project!
