The turret looks like the ones used on their amphibious tank, the PT-76. Yes, very industrial, Greg.

Nice to see you back to your maritime roots Greg.  This looks like it will be a very interesting build and I am sure you will enjoy going to town with your weathering on a model of this size.

 

cheers

Lower hull, I still need to do some scribing but I’m also tossing up as to if I’ll put it in a resin base. 
 

anyways, the kit completely omits the fender which is on the stern. I glued two small strips of hardwood together and sanded it to shape. You can see from the white bits I’ve done a lot of putty so far.

Can i ask where you got the kit from. I've been looking high and low for one of these

Sorry, completely missed this. I got it from a mate who imports directly from Asia. I’d have a look at Hobbyeasy perhaps or the eBay’s hobbylink Japan have them in stock

The bridge is a big open area you can look into and see nothing. There is plastic glass which is still clear and it needs some details . Using spare parts I did a window ledge and some details and eventually there will be two sailors inside 

 

also some water bottles and Voka bottles of course
