I brought this one Mark, it seems really good I just use a thin bit of wire - dab the wire end in the small puddle of glue in a saucer (like the garden pot type ones) then dab it on the place were I want to place the PE, keeps it controled taht way also give a little time to move the part around (not lots of time but just enough) OC.

Evening all, more progress still on the top plate - firstly I had what seemed like Ten Million engine hatch hinges, then there was a few handles that were about 0000000.1mm wide (well not quite) but still minute, the savior was some larger fittings like fuel filler caps and engine exhausts, also a couple of side handles (not as small as the other tiny things). Next was some engine cover Bling that was a pleasure to fix down. I have taken a few pics ot show the massive size of the M1 kit (that I will be pinching the interior from) and also some super detail sets I boright to bring the M1 upto its most modern look, and the Chally tankers I will buid and paint. OC.

Here's the plan over the next day or so - I will attach a few more of the fittings and PE on the top of the hull, then the exciting bit - I have had my other kit arrive including a few bits - modern British tank crew, the plan is I will pinch the internal bits for the turret and drivers cab, and start the process of trying to make them convert from a M1A2 into a Chally 2 interior. Here is the kit -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
