Well after doing the front internals I decided to try and do all the insides, except the engine. This was for 2 reasons, 1 there was no real easy way to have the engine compartment be open and would take alot more custom work on the outer hull of the body. 2 I didnt have an engine laying around and the engine would be over twice the price of what I paid for the model, about 40$
So using plasticard I walled off the back engine compartment and flattened out the floor, removing the AA battery holders. Also even though this kit says its an Ausf D variant it seems to have aspects of the D or the E, with up armor plating, for the sides of the body and the front if you wish. The info about it was in the instructions, but it was all in japanese. Even though this is a very very common model, I couldnt find a copy of the instructions in english. Since I really like up armor stuff, like stuff bolted and welled on extra, I went for that look. Also most up armored versions also put armor plates down by the track area. Tamiya didnt include this, so I had to add it from scratch.
Also I have most of the wheels and the muffler and stuff added on the chassis
