 Subject:  [Chapter] Step 5 - Upper Hull - Part 1List thread.  
  
 Date:  Dec 20, 2006
 From:  Glenn Bartolotti 
Step 5 - Upper Hull - Part 1

Step 5 begins with the upper hull. Here, we see the first mention of the four different ways of completing this model. Two complete upper hulls are provided. The second hull, on Sprue I, has a different tread pattern on it than the original hull, A1, with its dot pattern. While optimized for the Tauchpanzer, the new hull, I1, can be used for a straight Ausf. D as long as one remembers to use the corresponding rear mudguards added in Step 8. An interesting feature is part C50 which is to be added if building the tank without a turret. Does this foretell that a bridge layer is in the works? Possibly, an interior set may be offered soon as was done with the Panzer I Ausf A kits. The front mud flaps even have separate springs to attach. The side visors can now be positioned open to the empty hull thanks to newly added parts A-14 and the clear episcopes (GP2-2).
