Lower inner hull details

Spending a lot of time in the bottom

While working on the tank I often took a look at how the insides started looking when you looked at it from the front. As far as I could somehow the full interior, I'd be enjoying watching its progress.


After the inner walls I installed a couple of lenghtwise support bits, which I assumed to have something to do with supporting the combat compartment's floor and what got set on top of that, than anything to stiffen the hull itself.

Already the vagueness of some of the pics in the instructions had confused in some places. Just like I complained the last time, the attaching surfaces of some of the pieces were pretty tiny and low on tactile feedback while installing: you couldn't easily feel when it was where it was supposed to be.


In the left front corner, right next to the drive sprocket's clutch(?) and the cylinder installed at a 45° angle seemed to house a set of three periscope heads for the driver. If that was the case, it was an interesting detail.



This sad-looking box looked like it was also protecing one of the combat compartment's fuel tanks (170l). Originally spacious panzertub was getting fuller by the step.
