Club build - Tamiya M41

In order to get around the curve you need smaller pieces. Even these are a little to larger and I cut even smaller ones.

The left side is done.

Need to finish up the right side.

Found out same when I put the non-skid on the fire truck tail board - went down great on the horizontal but refused that 90 degree turn down.

Here is additional photo of lifting rings.

I added the front hull lifting rings (omitted from the Kit) using round electric terminals with the wire tube section cut off. Not too hard an addition.

You never know till you try. This build has helped me to try may things I have not before like my idea for the cupola periscopes. In the end probably should have done what Bill did.

What is the blue rectangle at the loaders position - are you going to open this periscope?

The blue tape is left over from masking for putty. I had not opened the periscope up...yet. I probably will when done with this step, that way it will be buttoned up and ready to rock and roll.

I added four more long strips of welds.

The rest will be small sections to work around the curve as this limitation of the raised products. They can go up and down well just not left and right so much.

Looks good - you are more daring than me at the current time. It will be interested in seeing it up close and after painting.

What is the blue rectangle at the loaders position - are you going to open this periscope?

Regards!

Finished up the putty work.

Started apply the the welds. After a few attempts I thought I would let this dry before trying the longer sections.

She sure looks pretty.

I need to upload the photos but put putty and half of the archer arc welds on the turret.
