Good luck with the build Paul!

You've got a nice list of bits to add, so the finished vehicle could look impressive. I'm also building this one. Have finished the hull (almost). Turret is next, but I plan to add the turret basket. No, there is no time or money to add the AA interior :) I'm trying to get the Tamiya M8 Greyhound basket to fit in the turret. It need adapting, but at least there's something to look at with the hatches open.

Some pitfalls with this kit:
- turret is a bit hard to assemble, because of all the bits involved. The interior set will probably make this worse.
- the rear stowage bin PE parts don't fit too well. Be sure to heaten them, so they are more easily worked with.
- some very small parts need very careful handling.

Other than that, there are no problems, at least none I've come across.
