The problem

The fix

It may seem like a step back but I could still see the hull joins so the model was re-sanded. The turret has now also been modified the front has been cut off and replaced

Here you can see the turret now clears the rear engine hatch. You also see the commanders cupola has been moved

Here youcan see the blanking plug added to the Revell turret to allow the cupola to sit in its correct location

Side view to shwo the corrected profile of the Revell kit

and the other side. You can see the turret has the right gap at the front still and clears the engine hatch

The etch brass is now being applied on mass, also all the turret loops have been added
