Tom,

With all of the kit's parts for the turret, it will be very structurally sound.
Another way to get rid of the separations would be to use some Tamiya putty on those gaps
between the triangle panels, but that would be so time consuming. I think your fix was
perfect. Nice work.

Tom, Great solution to the witch hat issue.  I wouldn't have been happy with the original witch hat either.

Rich,

Yes, there are many parts and when glued together, they are very sound. I though about the putty and figured that has to be a better way.

Thank you for the compliment.

Rick,

Thank you for the comment, much appreciated.

I think the curve at the bottom will really show when painted.

I've been very busy on the build of Doc Koontz' Corner Store.

I made one final test fit of the bay windows prior to gluing them in place. I noticed the wall color inside the windows. I marked the area and then painted over the wall color with Tamiya Black.
