Thanks everyone!

Next is gun travel lock.



A lot of fiddling parts, but i managed to put it together and leave everything movable.





Here is lock assembled with secure hinge



Lock placed on it's marking
Down position when not in use



Up position when in use



Open lock



Fun fact: gun travel lock was added at the back since the gun overhang was 1.4 m, and the tank normally traveled with turret reversed.
The travel lock was offset to the left to prevent the driver's hatch been blocked by the radio box in the turret rear.

Hi to all
After a quick vacation and Euro 2020 i am back to assembling

Front hatches hoods.
Rotating periscope guard was made from solder wire and glued together.







First you need to align hoods position on hatches.
Then place the hinges and glue only to hoods.
And last glue to the body.

Thanks Joon and Kevin

Rear stowage box









Attached to armor
On real tank it was slid on two upper brackets and secured with pins and screwed on two lower brackets with bolts.

Thanks Boris.

At this point instructions send the builder to finish placing all parts on an armor in free order.
So those are all parts that left, before i will start to assemble a turret. From 264 to 304.



I decided to go by ascending numbers.
Armored plug for bow machine gun hole and two lifting eye casts with mounting pads.





Headlights with blackout lamps and brush guards.
Still learning how to properly glue spherical parts...







All parts are placed on armor








Fun fact: headlights could be dismounted in combat, by just unplugging wires from the inside and unscrewing from the outside. Plugs were provided to seal up the holes.
