Turret was primed and canvas cover made up by a mate

Worked out and made seat set up for the turret before fitting it. Fitted internal storage racks and painted interior. Layout is for a vehicle captured and put into German use

Nice to see this cool project getting paint on it that will really make it pop. I suggest (and this is ONLY a suggestion) is once you have it driving give it a run through some mud and start giving it that 'lived in" look. I would also take it out and shoot some rounds at it at different spots and angles, you may want to do some test shots at plate so you do not go through the vehicle panels. That would certainly give it a "back in the day" look .
