Engine and chassis pretty much sorted. A trial fit of the seat highlighted the need for some adjustment to its position. With that done tonight and possibly some of tomorrow will be spent adding a harness.

Another weekend of English summer in prospect I've settled into my warm workshop and decided to tackle this one.

That's the plan Dave. Sorting out the details of the terrain is my next challenge closely followed by how to model it.

Test fitting of the roof to transfer the camouflage pattern from the sides. The camouflage on the roof needs to be sprayed before gluing it in place as the open grills mean paint would bleed through into the interior. I've also made a start on the commander/drivers cupola which sits on top of the roof.

Kev, it may look like one heck of a fighting machine however in reality its performance was less than impressive. In fact the deployment of just about any of the twenty A7Vs that were made could be the basis of a comic opera.

Now back to the model. Sides fitted and initial camouflage mapped out. The interior as finished as it is going to be given the limited glimpses that will be possible when the roof goes on.
 
 

Started this one a wee while ago so the initial posts are a catch up. The A7V Tauro kit looked to be an Everest sized challenge and far to daunting so when the superb Meng kit appeared this project kicked off.

Not one of my best unfortunately. It's a great kit that has been a battle all the way due entirely to my own stupidity.

I'm some what surprised that even in its darkest hour the Republic would turn the Soviets for weapons.
