Lower Hull and Interior

My experience with the prior kit was that the actual build was quite straight-forward, so I'm not anticipating anything different here. The major difference is the presence of the vehicle interior. The parts have very little flash overall, but there are a number of small sink-holes to be filled, and quite a few pin-marks of both the sunken and raised variety. Fortunately these were not difficult to clean up. A few minutes work with a small file, a few dabs with some Tamiya putty, and we're good to go.

As mentioned above, the interior is a little plain, but after dry-fitting the upper hull I don't think this is really a big problem; there isn't much of it that's likely to be visible. So I decided to spare myself the grief of attempting to make stuff like floor pedals and so on and settled for a couple of steering levers and the gear lever made from stretched sprue. I'm not even sure that they will be visible, but they're easy enough to do. (In the following photos the return rollers have not yet been attached; for no reason more sinister than "I forgot".)
