                        I noticed that the closest support strip in the first pic is slightly lower than what I want, so that will be raised. No fouling of the turret has occured, so now all I have to do is make 3 more of these (I'll have two levels in each bin).

                        And the last pic is of the what will be hinged access vents to the radiator and other engine nesecities like a fuel tank.

                        A note about your last picture with the hinged engine deck access -- you have the wrong part hinging upwards.  The rearmost louvers raised upwards.  The central and frontmost portions were bolted on.  They could only be removed with some effort.  HTH

                        Hmmm. Explains the bolt heads Tongue [:P].

                        And the rear part is all one big piece.

                        I am now in the process of detailing the lockers with wire and rod.

                        Academy. Great kit, but a few mistakes.

                        Hello Montana, looking at your pics; I still think you are too wide with the ammo storage.

                        PLEASE, please check with the the turret fully assembled; ie: the three vertical struts!....Kenny

                        Nope, I checked it, twice. The shadow in that picture is decieving. look at the  fore end of the locker. it is at least 3mm from the edge.
