We're off and running!

Reference photos show grab irons welded to the back deck plates. The kit parts have these molded on and flat (as seen on lower plate by the knife), so I decided to make them accurate, replacing them with wire.

I decided to do an interior so the main turret hatch can be open.

The fighting compartment is built from plastic sheet, girders, rods, wire and some spare parts.

The turret basket was built from plastic rod, sheet, and half-round strips.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/7/1/3/135713-12716-91-720.jpg)
Pieces and bits from the spare parts box (and a little scratch-building) round out the basket area.

Spare parts, bits and pieces added to the turret walls.

Photos of the real interior from the internet helped decide which parts to use and how to place them.

Album info
The PT-76 Model 1951 will be my entry. Looks like a fairly straight-forward, but highly detailed model!
