Oh look, Christmas came early for ND!

Lets see... a PE bender, a grab iron bender, a circular punch and die set, a hobby hammer, various tweezers, and a set of putty applicators!

Not what I wanted. I will seriously trade this, straight up, for the equivalent in brushable versions. PM me if you're interested.

First go at using the circular punch to make a power socket for the windscreen.

I think it went okay. You can see it to the left of the periscopes. I also used the grab iron bender to make some hand-holds around the shock mount and on the engine cover. You can see a glue spot in front of the periscopes where I tried to fit a scratch-made air nozzle to blow on the driver's front periscope. FAIL!

And a parting shot of the other side of the hull. I'll need to finish the seam filling along the side and the top of the hull before I apply the photo etch for the pioneer tool clips.

This week's goal is to finish the back door area and put the hull together. Happy sanding, modelers! ;D
