You may not be able to do the Eloka EW version w/that top. It will depend on how much clearance they provide for the antennae array as it goes over the left rear hatch & the turret provision areas.

As seen here, the German Fuchs Eloka antennae array, and extra cooling for internal electronics necessitates a different top. The Fuchs Eloka above without left rear & central hatches top and std. German Fuchs top below.

Great start Lee lets hope the first of many ,like I say these small parts are no smaller than the small parts on a 35th just there's lots of them ,if you do build some more the only advice I would give would be to stick with Revell or Italeri for a bit as there pretty pain free though the up to date Zvezda stuff is bang on as well.

Dave after my years working on 1/72 through 1/35 Millitary the other day when I was working on this I realize that these small pieces would be like putting the fine details on a 1/35 scale. I have both 1/72 Revell and Italeri kits I like them both and probably just stay with them. I hope to building more in this scale now that I can concentrate on them without the white noise in the back ground from stress.

My word Lee that alone is worthy of the Dogs.
Looks a bit much for me, so will sit as near as possible so I don't miss anything.
