I've opted to use the PE screening and louvres on the rear of the hull although, as usual, very little of the assembly will be easily seen once the housing is attached to the hull. I removed the molded-on bolt heads from the hull, sanded them smooth, and then attached the PE plate on the rear deck as shown below:
The louvres were then attached. Since there is no engine included I'll leave them in the closed position:
The screening and supports were then glued to the housing. Note that the tabs on the supports have not yet been bent:
Here's a photo of the housing in position (tabs STILL not bent) showing just how much of the assembly will be visible through the screen:
I will airbrush the area inside the housing in the appropriate Russian green color prior to permanently attaching it. Then it's back to general construction.
