The tool boxes and the A-Frame mounts were attached to the rear deck. Plastic rod soaked in glue was used to simulate the welds for the mounts.
Spare track mounts were fabricated from styrene strips and u-channel and they were attached to the rear of the turret.
Spare road wheels and drive sprockets were added to the exterior of the turret. The turret was then attached to the hull.
Here are more pictures of the tank with the turret attached
The front fenders were made from styrene and glued in place. The front tow hitch was also added to the hull,
Next, I started on the A-Frame. The seam lines were scrapped smooth (very time consuming) and the attachment points were prepped for attaching to the hull. Small areas were sanded smooth so the mounts could be glued. Styrene rods were used to simulate the weld beads.
