Thank you all for your kind words.
Work on the ammo storage boxes is now complete. The parts continue to fit well, with only one minor issue to report. The rear ammo storage box on the left side had to be re-positioned about 1/8" closer to the front of the vehicle in order to allow enough clearance for the box to open without hitting the ledge on the fire wall.
Next, I will begin construction of the transmission.
Also, a funny side note, not entirely related to this build exactly but I had to mention it anyway. As I was looking trough some reference materials (my copy of Squadron/signal publications PzKpfwIV in action)...I saw a familiar photo There was a picture of one of my first ever paper models looking right back at me.
I guess it's no big deal but I thought it was kind of cool anyway.
Happy modeling
