Hetzer with interior #1

I'm posting a couple of pictures of the Eduard late Hetzer with interior detail.  It's been an extremely slow and complex build so far. The fit has been good overall, but the kit is characterised by numerous small and very detailed parts that are difficult to work with in styrene. Be warned!

The only serious downer has been the barrel. You'd best replace it with a metal one. In this case, an Armorscale item. You will need to perform some minor surgery to get it to fit, but the result will be worth it. The 75mm shells are a little "clunky" but you won't see any more than the tips through the hatches one the top hull is buttoned up, so it's not worth replacing them.
