In my last post, I showed how I used a candle to shape the dome from the AMT 1/25 Frauhauf Tanker kit to fit over the hull. That dome turned out to be slightly too small, so I ordered Plastruct domes. Since that heating technique worked very well, I decided to use it on the Plastruct dome, which is the correct size. I still have to add panel lines to it, so until then, here's how it looks with kit bashing and paint...

Since the mounting hole is in the back of the dome, it hides it nicely when shooting from the front...

I still have to detail the top hull with panel lines, chips and paint. Now that the dome is on, and once I get that panel-lined, I can finally move on to the top hull.
