Thats a cool idea using the Dremel to sand the seams down....why didn't i think of that. *smacks forehead* ;D

Well i put the first day of my hols to good use......i finished the build part of the kit bar a few things like tracks. All three main sub-assemblies are done and ready to paint. You were dead right that kit was a pleasure to build compared to my usual sci-fi kits. 8)

I do have a few questions i was going to ask you more experienced tank modellers.

1. What do you make aerials out of because i would like to fit one to the aerial bracket.

2. Which colour should i use to prime the model, i was going to use white but have a sneaking feeling i should use black instead?

3. I haven't fitted the .50 cal on the turret because it just feels wrong, is that really how the gun would have been mounted? It looks like its blocking the commanders hatches and he can only fire the gun to the rear as the MG mount looks fixed to the rear of his hatch!
