Thinned the resin struts for the launcher supports... 1 down, 1 to go. Maybe I'll try to get a bit thinner...

thx. hope not to disappoint. already looking out for some camouflage on this one, and maybe a small change to make it an AMK instead of a standard one...

Progress was a bit slower then expected... Wheels fitted under the hull, only 1 needs a bit of correction for not touching the ground (to me it's a succes...)
Also thinned down one support for the launchers... some tedious work, but luckily the resin isn't that brittle. Further I ran into a serious problem with the windshield part. It is approx. 1.5mm smaller then the hull, and I'm very puzzled how to deal with that
