I just made the dumbest series of mistakes on such a simple model...

In all fairness I didnt have the kit instructions but did have access to a book UPSTAIRS... but was lazy...

Glued the main machinegun protector on upside down on a Fort T-40 light tank...

Went to bed, was flipping through the book with the T-40... realized I glued it on upside down... so I had to go downstairs to fix it... Whew.

Then I went back up and was looking at the book again and realized I glued the two machineguns in backwards, sot he gun protector wasnt upside down, I had the whole mantlet upside down...

Sooooooo another trip downstairs to take the whole thing apart and put it back together properly.

Felt like a moron...
