Lower Hull and Top deck fitted together..
Underside scraper blade moulded with hull but is hidden by the front armour after assembly.
Reactive armour added to glacis before fitting to the hull for easier assembly.
Glacis fitted to hull, note the side join to be filled (1) and fender locating slots (2)
Rear engine deck fitted, side joins will be hidden by fenders after assembly.
Glacis/Hull top join, this shouldn't be filled as it is an actual recessed join on the T-80 hull, see reference image.
Rear hull join, again the join line should be there as per the reference image.
The exhaust box fits neatly to rear hull plate as do the other fittings.
