That looks a fantastic kit Mick and yes, the cutaway version will be a lot more work, but well worth it as you will have a much more interesting display piece at the end of it?
Well done, an excellent choice of kit and well done too for adding to the topics in the military section. I'll be following your build all of the way.  
Kev.

Great to see you back Mick and working on this fab model again. I've heard a lot of good things about these 'Rye Models' kits especially the level of detail that is included.
Making a great job of it so far, looking forward to seeing more. Well done.

Hi kev there are 62 parts to make up the transmission about 1200 in kit as a whole but over 500 to the tracks alone the cutaway version will use less as not got the parts of the tank there to use them all I have had to scrape tiny amounts off here and there to get a better fit ,but nothing major don't think it will be last of these I'll do .cheers mick Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
