| If a screwdriver is vodka and O.J., how do you make a Phillips Screwdriver? Vodka and milk of magnesia. |

The hull still has lots of little parts to add, but you can see the bullet splash rail to good effect. |

The gun is temporarily in place. The turret and hull have holes drilled in them so a wooden dowel can act as the pivot. |

Like the ring around the turret hatch, the hull has something similar except it protects the turret race from damage by bullets and shell splinters. I drew the pattern using a compass and ruler and glued a strip of card stock over the pattern. The pins hold it in place. I again added balsa putty to create a sloped lip. |

The turret hatch could rotate on a ball bearing race. The race could let in water so the turret had a raised lip around the hatch. I used solder to make the ring and then feathered the edge with balsa filler. There should only be one ring at the top of the turret. Let that be a lesson, screwdrivers and sharp objects don't always mix. |

A bit more detail of the 75mm. I need to drill out the barrel. |

I wasn't looking forward to cutting out the suspension system by hand. I mentioned to my brother that I was looking for either a bandsaw or scroll saw. A couple days later I found this on my porch with a note from him saying he wasn't using this one and hopefully I could put it to good use. What a brother. |

The 75mm barrel. The paper will be glued to the back of the barrel housing. I need to add screw details yet. |

Profile of the tank. |

Turret with the commader's hatch in place. Still some details to add to the turret and hatch. |

The turret is sitting on the hull. The paper cutout is from a book I am using to correct shape and size errors. |
| Creosotewind, Image # 20021 | 13 Nov 10 09:08 |
The other side of the turret with the fillet in place. |
| Creosotewind, Image # 20020 | 13 Nov 10 09:07 |
The turret was a solid piece of pine, rough cut to shape. It also sat too squat, so I added some basswood to the bottom. The bustle in the back left a wedge shaped gap that needed filling. You can see the fillet I made below the turret. |
