AFV Club Churchill MKIII Dieppe build log - interior scratch work complete below top of hull

To get my feet wet, I started with something simple, the fire wall. This was cut out of .04” sheet and the cross members and border out of .01” sheet


Fit is pretty snug, so much so the right corner pops up, but this will be fixed later. The firewall will also help shore up the hull sides. The second task was pannier stowage shelves and ammo racks. This went through a few stages mainly due to poor cuts, and trying to figure out how to simulate the shells. The struggle was the holes were so close together the styrene kept breaking out. I settled in simulating them with .01” hole punched to 2mm diameter, it looks a little basic but I hope paint will help. The rest was shelving and pretty straight forward
