I have a little supprise - I want to try my hand at doing a part internal simulation - way to hard to scratch and nothing available as an update or super detail kit, so what I have found is another modern AFV kit that includes a Full intenal detail set - its the Rye Field Model 1:35 M1A1 / A2 Abrams, I know they are different tanks but I am sure with having the basics for the intenal parts there I can re-work them a bit to get close to the Chally's interior. The other bonus I will then have the M1 kit I can build latter and in that I could show the Engine compartment as its included in the kit. Two for One situation,😉 https://www.how-amps.org/ryefield-model-rm5007-135-m1a1a2-abrams-wfull-interior-2-in-1

Lighting rigs with units into light boxes or umbrellas are quite straight forward with lots of kits available, video cameras are a little more complex - again lots of them around in the digital market. OC.

Thank you kindly Edward, I'm going to have to be careful with my building/painting work on the base as it will be the lower part of my case when it arrives, Im hoping I can get the maker of the case to mask the decorative edging for me to save any damage to it from working on it. OC.
