Good morning!
Gentlemen! Lets re- rail the commo back onto Pitstain's excellent combo build of the Tamiya King Tiger. It is really coming along.

I love the vids.
The world should think itself lucky I don’t do them.
All the expletive bleeps and excessive drinking would leave little room for commentary

Is the mantlet an issue due to the specific kit or due to the need to improve its function ?
I’m not quite getting the gist of it

LOL, I would love to see you do a intoxicated cursing video build.

The real issue is the mount for the trunion on the production turret is mounted to the front face of the upper half of the turret, and with the "Porsche" it is mounted to the bottom half of the turret, requires inventive re-engineering.

Daryl Turner has dispatched my conversion bits and they should be in my hands early next week, also my Schumo barrel that shipped on Feb 24th from Germany should be here in the next few days after taking a very odd route to get to me, that barrel has flown over more of planet earth than I ever may.

Two of a kind, and the end of the production run.

All the parts are here, other than a bit of scratch building for Barrel elevation the build can now continue, documenting for Barry as he will be in a very similar situation.

Barrel is the Schumo and the brake is, I think DKLM.
