Very interesting variant!
Add some rubber/grippy material on the bottom so that you can open it one-handed. I hold the bottle right next to my cutting mat and use the edge to hold the bottle.

With each step, it becomes more and more difficult. To glue just one part, you need to check the compatibility of a dozen neighboring parts. Some parts are not glued yet. Because they still require fitting.

Again, I didn’t move forward.
In the photo below you can see what I spent 4 (!) hours on today!

Four hours! Friends! FOUR!
I spent on slotting the lattice of armored caps!
The result is crooked, oblique, not realistic. Well, what MiniArt suggested has nothing to do with the original at all.
I will continue to work anyway. I will try to bring them to a more realistic look as much as I can.
But, the question continues to torment me - was it worth it?

Thank you Armor_Buff!
I will continue in the same spirit! 
There are fears that I will not meet 150 hours.
I planned to spend 50 hours on assembly. And for painting and weathering - 100. And I already spent 27 hours and did not move a single step. I’ll think how to speed up the process.

Another hour and a half of work with the lattice. Although I did a lot, the difference is almost invisible.

But you know and will see that work every time you look at the kit.

Worked for one hour on the second lattice. As a break from the tedious work of picking out plastic, I decided to do something else. Namely, road wheels.

Cool drift!

Finished with the lattices. All in all, I spent 12.5 hours on this. I decided to stop at this result because I realized that I could spend another 112.5 hours and still not bring them to perfection 
In general, despite the fact that I’m not entirely satisfied with what happened, the result is more or less satisfactory.
