The turret

As I said in my last entry steps 9 and 10 involve putting all the odds and ends on the turret. There are some very tiny parts that you need to be careful or the carpet monster will get a snack. Dragon gives a choice of installing a searchlight (B25) or not installing and putting a cap (B37) over the stub. The only problem is that the instructions did not mention a clear part that would go inside the light – I carved down one of the extra lenses that was included but decided it did not look good so I went with option B.

The other choice you need to make in mentioned in step 11 – the foundry mark that goes on back of the turret. The instructions provide no insight as to the proper one to use, so I used the one that was wife’s first name initial “C”.

Now it is time to finish putting the parts on the upper hull and I should be ready to paint.
