Those straps around the barrel are blooming amazing! Very nice work indeed!

Thin aluminium strip and spare etch. I will do a quick tutorial for you later.

Update,
The turret basket is now in place...


Then onto the stowage bins on either side of the turret, and decided to open up the large bin...



With just the small rear bin to finish....
And that is it for today...
Cheers

Update,
More work progress on the turret, both smoke grenade launchers now in place with new wiring and tops to the smoke pots...


Also the barrel is now in place and the canvas straps that hold the thermal jacket to the mantlet...




The wire cable has been attached to the turret rear wall...



And now test fitting the new commanders cupola - undecided yet to fit this or the clamshell cupola (already done the split cupola)....



And that is it for now...
Cheers
Mike.

Beautiful work as always.
In your "how to" on the straps are the buckles from a PE set?

Do not put yourself down, you are as good as any on this forum.

Thanks for the praise Jim.
The buckles came from the thermal blanket etch set for a Challenger 2, but I only used the end for the buckle. But Aber do a set of buckles 35 A21 and they come in different sizes and shapes as well as the conventional square...
