Right, new MG42 & Jerrycans from WelshDragon painted, just sorting photos out for posting. Go easy fellas, it's been a while since I used a brush in anger, lol!

Cheers Brett. I can't recommend WelshDragon highly enough for kit, service and response.

I have just ordered a metal tow cable to replace the plastic one. Can't say enough about how good WelshDragon are. Having a lot of fun doing this, although assembling, painting and dry brushing the MG42 was a labour of love! Need new fingers/nervous system!!!

I'd really like to spray mine in grey and add some zimmerite, but need to get some spray gear and do some reading up on some guides before i do so.
How easy was it to remove all the cables etc before painting

The cables popped off quite easily, even though I wasn't going to use them again. I used a Badger 200 and it was simple and straightforward. Took some getting used to the can freezing up though, but apart from that operator error, was good fun.
