So today I bought this..

Small progress. I’ve made the crew box that is mounted on the left rear casemate. Needs tidying up and some filler etc. Although the angle of the lower part of the box is too much. I’ve pencilled where it should be - at right angles to the slope of casemate. Not sure how I got that wrong. Was using the Kagaro book for dimensions. size in mm x 35. The that figure divide by 16. I’m sure there’s an easier way. Took off all the tool mounting points and filled the holes in. Body has been rubbed down a little. saukopf I’m in process of reshaping as has been done on others. Bought some Milliput epoxy putty to help sculpt that more. And finally a new barrel from Forgebear. It’s a BB one and not infrared recoil but I’m probably not going to fire it either way. The mantle reconstruction I’m a bit lost on for now. I’ll carry on looking at it until I can think of a solution. I’ve plasticard and the putty to sculpt.
