top decking...

Added more parts to the top deck. This really helped in the rigidity of the hull, and the squaring of the sides.

turret..

Turret construction.. Built up the bottom deck.




The sides.. Just after applying glue to the two parts, I wrapped them around a form that was a touch smaller then what I need. When dry, this gave me a shape that was real close. Easier to spread to the size needed, then squeezing it in.

Added the wall plating. There is a lot to be added inside this section.

Thanks.. The handle is just a scrape piece of plastic spruce that had a shape that would work, that I will paint later..

Ammo housing unit (I think), and the lift...

Fantastic! That is going to be one excellent build. You've got great skills.
I've built a couple of Patoroch's models, and I agree, no fit problems.
Looking forward to seeing the finished model.

Fit has been perfect.. Some trimming here and there, mostly because of things I've added or changed.

Parts added..

finished turret...

The turret is finished.. More needs to be added to the top decking, but I'll do that later when installing the canon.

Top decking...



Side walls..
