    On to the turret as you can see it's very square so I've rounded off most of the corners.




    Areas marked with black I've rounded off.

      Hi Pete
      Amazing added details. Certainly taking this 'toon' to another level.

                  Hi Pete
                  A very nice build and the scratched extras are worth the effort.

                      Hi Jim thank you much appreciated, most of the work really had to be done to make it a half descant kit, it's probably the worst Toon I've built so far and this is number 15 and I've still three I haven't built yet.
                      Pete.

                        Hi Pete,
                        That’s absolutely bristling with added details....makes a very interesting model. Super neat upgrades too:thumb2:

                            Pete,
                            That is a cracking piece of work mate.
