It took me some time to actually start this kit (job/life) but I have done most of assembly by now. This kit is a bit special for me as it is my first time I do such a big model. It is first time when I do some scratch building and first time I will attempt to do colour modulation on a model. I also plan to do my first diorama/vignette.
This is my progress thus far:

This is my third attempt at scratchbuilding meshes over engine deck. This one is a bit of plasticard and mesh from splash guard that you cover frying pan with.

I have couple of questions also:

1. Could someone of You show me how exactly should brackets for utensils container look like? So far I couldn't find a proper picture showing this detail.
2. What actually should be there? I have seen different photos and on some there is a mesh and on others there is some weird fixture that looks similar to this from panther ausf. G.
There is still a bit of filling and assembly required, afterwards it will be time for painting. Parallel to that I will also start working on a diorama.
Cheers everyone
