Update:
Well work still continues on the carrier. In these next pics I have added rivits to the outside and inside of the front shield and installed the seat frames. They can be possitioned in either the up position or the lowered position. I put a couple figures in the carrier just to see how it looks with the seats in the upper position. The rivits are all indivudually made by rounding off the end of a section of plastic sprue then cutting the rounded portion off forming the head of the rivit. Took a few hours to make the 180 rivit heads I have made so far although not all have been used as of yet.

excelent ! there are two gunners handles which mount onto the gunners armour one for the right hand and one for the left, the left being roughly where his hand is now (where the armour meets the hull. i may have some Mk2 interior pics of a pals carrier if you wish i could either post them on here for you or email them to you ? i guess it depends on how far you want to go with the detail.

Are these the handles you are referring to in these two pics indicated by the white arrows? In one pic it looks like they have a rubber bicycle handle grip on it and the second pic there isn't a rubber grip, or could be it has come off the handle. Thank you for that bit of info.... Harold
