Trumpeter 1/35 SA-6 Gainful

In the previous post I was explaining how the lower chassis was too short by 6mm...not any longer.
The cuts were made front and back, cleaned up, strips of .040 thou styrene were glued into place then the front of the hull was joined to the rear.
I used more strips of styrene to strengthen the join on the inside and when set I will fill and sand the hull as my joinery skills are not that stellar.

In the lower picture you can really see the difference the extension makes to the rear hull.
As for the swing arm locating pin I just sawed it off and will glue some plastic strip to the back of it to bring back the depth.
