Thanks Clint. The turret will take a few hours at most. By Monday I should be able to start painting.

Today’s update:
Step 12, build the 90mm main gun tube
Step 13, build the mantlet
Step 14, build the basic turret
I think in about 48 hours I should have the construction all done!

Thanks Bruce! I keep it plain in the background so that all attention is focused on the subject. No distracting background.

Turret also looks like a very nice molding. Any interior pieces?
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: M46, 6th Tank Battalion, 1951. The Patton Project Pt.I
Clint, the interior is completely empty. Which is too bad, as it would have been nice to have something to see in there as all the hatches are separate pieces and can be positioned open or shut. I wonder if anybody ever made an aftermarket interior set?
Well last night was another online Zoom AMPS meeting. During the course of the meeting I worked on this kit and finished up the build work.
Steps 15 thru 19, adding all the turret fittings...
And with the turret on, the basic construction is finished!
now comes the fun part... the Tiger paint scheme!!!!
