Flakpanzer Gepard as of Sunday evening

Here is the Hull and turret after a weekend of glue.

This kit was originally done in 1978, so the placement of knock out pins has a lot to be desired.

The grill in the photo 2 has many knock out pins on the upper surface. Hence the gray/white putty dots.

I have primed the wheels and the chassis.

I'm a little disapointed in Tamiya in that this is a static model, but most of the mounting points for the hull to the chassis are still nuts and bolts, where the bolts are very visable. I would have thought they would have come up with a single sprue of replacement pieces that could have been glued and not be visiable.
