Well John made a start on the secondary battery. Using the extra Trumpeter metal barrels. To be fair they do make a difference.

Added the PE on the front, had some issues with doing a gentle bend in it as it was a little thick but got there. Not 100% happy, bit sloppy again with the CA.


Hopefully I can build this better than previous builds. My fault for only really building StuG's and getting stuck as a on trick pony!. Trying to take my time instead of rushing and making stupid mistakes, things like sanding like a maniac and not leaving stuff to set properly.

We will see folks

I found that by rolling a toothpick over small parts can put a slight curve on it.

Worry not Bob, think your conversation to this scale and type is to be admired. Looks neat work on those guns
If you concerned about ca you can removed it with debonder. VMS show it's use in UTube.
Press on mate.

Thanks John, bought a bottle

Unfortunately my mum fell yesterday and the paramedics had her admitted into hospital. So lots of worrying ahead, carrying out tests on her

I wish your mum well and hope she's home and better soon.
The guns look very good.
