Superstructure is ready, tools (made out of wooden sticks shaped to scale size and shape), containers, radios, spare length of tracks, and other details were applied. Work with such small parts requires a lot of patience especially in cutting out required bits using tip of the hobby knife .
Cannon came in two stages, first was building the base and fitting it's all details, second connecting base to barrel mounted upon recoil rail with miniature of the shell lock at rear. Two independent axis made uneasy to keep right symmetry of barrel against base and lifted cannon in one position.
Assembly of optics unit required a lot of reference studying to get some small extra bits (it's simplified). At front two curved armor plates complete the cannon, which is fixed in battle section on swivel peg. Last details - barrel support, loops, hooks and antenna were added. Final painting was applied and model is ready. I quit the idea of using net camouflage, I just could not find proper way to put it on the model. At least now. This model provides as well optional details such as fuel can and mg 34.
