Chapter 10 - Turret: Ready for paint
Ahhhh, progress. Here is the turret, finished and ready for paint (Hatches, Ma Deuce and Antennas to come later). The turret basket was shown already a few chapters back, so no need to bring that up again yet until the turret interior is all painted.
This was a bit more work than expected. The CMD Turret, unlike the hull, is not quite made to take an interior. I had to do some creative cutting and carving of the TWS interior pieces in order to make it all fit properly. Added in are some leftover Formations periscopes as well as a No.19 wireless set from an Academy Achilles. Some styrene strip and rod were used to create the framework and handle for the pistol port, as well as linkage for the gunners periscope sight. The hatch base is for the Tiger Model Designs commanders hatch (really nice!). I'll probably go back for some additional wiring of the radio before fully painting everything.
Externally, it's all CMD other than the TWS co-axial MG poking out and the Crusader style stowage box from Formations. The rotor shield had the ears on it initially, those were easy enough to clip off and smooth it all out.
But for now, I'll call the turret shell ready for the basecoat. |
