Very impressive method for doing the screws Artyom, details & research are excellent.

Thank you! I am trying to keep calm and do my best step by step :relieved:

Some big problems with ammo shells box. Too narrow on a model. You may see it on the pictures. Holders with rivets are too close to each other. Pay attention that I have moved the main gun and machine gun on my model on a right. So if we want to save the proportions we should increase the box on it's length. Also we need to make the holders on both sides and on a bottom because they are one piece.

And some more information. I wondered what is this on a side of the box. Only from one side. I thought that it was a holder but it looks strange and definitely should be movable. Than I realized that this is hatch to remove ammo shells. By the way I have bought some ammo shells.

You bought an empty bag …? (Of course, I have to point out the cartridge cases are the wrong shape for the Vickers gun in the tank you’re modelling )

But I just took a look at their web site, and wow … those are empty 7.92×57 mm casings with the open end drilled out …?!

That was my first thought :smiling5: But they are on place. :smiling5::smiling5: Captured items of ammo.

Indeed! Magic. I have 1919 Browning and MG-42 from them. It is piece of art. Seriously.

At this scale there won't be a noticeable difference, o/l length and shoulder angle perhaps and a couple of scale mm's in neck diameter......of course , if you could read the scale headstamp then one would know for sure........ :tongue-out3:

Right you are! Unfortunately this is an only decent offer in this scale. :relieved: :smiling2:

I kind of expect Artyom to add the rim to the cases so they look more like .303

of course , if you could read the scale headstamp then one would know for sure........ :tongue-out3:

Having looked at Master Model’s web site, I wouldn’t be surprised if the cases did have headstamps

Some my photos of their MG-42. I will add it on the turret roof on A30.

Ridiculous

 

[Neo]

After all I did it but with some assumptions. Unfortunately MK doesn't have rivets less than 0,4mm.

Looks good Artyom.

 

[Neo]

Seems to me it is a start of a long way. All those screws,rivets and nuts makes me very sad.I already have an understanding that the turret is an separate model.

You very obviously have more patience for this than I would have … I could manage adding rivets with a punch and die set, but probably not drilling holes for the rivets first as well Very good job!

Unfortunately it is only a half. It could be easier if Masterclub did such type of screw with this head but.... I don't like to work with PE screws. Drilling and gluing sometimes makes me mad.

Your attention to detail is outstanding Artyom. great work, really loving this build.

Thank you! I am really curious how it will look like overall with turret.

 

[adt70hk]

Quite simply amazing.

Well done as always.

Artyom,
Still looking impressive, it will be a shame to cover up all your work with paint - but at least we will know the workmanship that lurks under it.
Mike.
