Darryl. An interesting dilemma you have with the bullet holes on your turret. For what they are worth, my thoughts would be to totally fill and remove all penetrations, simply to protect the interior from exposure to unexpected weather/the elements, and sadly...stupid people. I would also do this where internal fittings need to be replaced.

If any of the impacts did not penetrate, but resulted in a spall of metal being punched off the interior wall, I would definitely leave those untouched. These would tell a huge story as to how those little bits of metal flying around the interior can be just as deadly to the crew as a complete penetration.

Lastly, on the exterior, I would probably remove some of the impacts where there were just too many, or it looked messy, interfered with kit installation, but keep some of the more interesting ones.

Enough said. It 's your toy. Enjoy!

David
