Thanks guys. I’m trying to keep it as clean as I can. There are a few areas that I could have been neater, so there’s still room for improvement.

Excellent work Ade, you certainly did the right thing assembling the box first. I've built the version with the turret mounted rockets, really nice kits and very satisfying as Dicky says once under paint.

Super clean assembly.....areas that could be neater are unnoticeable to the Mark 1 Vernier Eyeball!
Ace!

I didn’t manage to get any more bench time yesterday, but I was able to snatch an hour before the rest of the world woke up this morning.... This is the result.... 19 parts, 1 hour... At least I’m not panicking now when it comes to the etch parts or suffering any Tourette’s outbursts, which is much better for the ol’ dicky ticker... there is still a little anxiety when it comes to the tiny parts and handling them without dropping them, but the calm I get early in the morning, with no distractions, helps tremendously. More to follow...

I managed to sneak another 20 minutes.... Also managed a quick mock-up/dryfit.... I didn’t fully clip the turret in, but it all sits really well. I’ve got to clean up the turret seams before I commit the barrel and any other parts to glue. Not sure when I’ll get back to this, hopefully not too long.

Stoopid non-WW2 builder question...the turret looks very similar to that perched on the top of the M3 Lee - is it the same? Very tidy build Ade - lookin' forward to seeing all those details under primer/colour
