I decided to try one of the Guillows Series 900 models. When I opened up the kit, I was disappointed to see that the sheet balsa was only 1/20th thickness. Per the stock plans, the construction of the model was very thin and fragile. I doubled the amount of ribs and adding additional spars and stringers to the model.

The hull still has lots of little parts to add, but you can see the bullet splash rail to good effect.

The gun is temporarily in place. The turret and hull have holes drilled in them so a wooden dowel can act as the pivot.

Like the ring around the turret hatch, the hull has something similar except it protects the turret race from damage by bullets and shell splinters. I drew the pattern using a compass and ruler and glued a strip of card stock over the pattern. The pins hold it in place. I again added balsa putty to create a sloped lip.

The turret hatch could rotate on a ball bearing race. The race could let in water so the turret had a raised lip around the hatch. I used solder to make the ring and then feathered the edge with balsa filler. There should only be one ring at the top of the turret. Let that be a lesson, screwdrivers and sharp objects don't always mix.

A bit more detail of the 75mm. I need to drill out the barrel.

My favourite shot of this evening, with the old boating pond, and All Saints Church on the Heath.
