Apologies for the awful pics, blurry as hell.
Here's a video, not exactly Stanley Kubrick material, but hey, I forgot the tripod mount for the camera.

Well seeing as that expensive Bulldog muzzle brake shattered yet again I made a new one. All done while chatting on the phone to Bogeyman.

Looks good Rob, how do you manage to keep shattering them?

I had one on a Bulldog I owned a few years back, and the resin muzzle brake was rock solid, never broke in all the time I had it. I reckon they got the mix wrong on this one as the first time it brushed against something it broke into 3 pieces. I superglued it back together, but at the meet it touched a cardboard building and broke into two pieces?? It was a simple job to make a complete new one from two small pieces of styrene tube, which should be a lot more durable.

One PzIV, with a new IR emitter, emitter holder, a muzzle flash that isn't sprayed matt black, and all turret cables labelled.
And yes, the emitter hatch seems to close...?

Deutches Afrika Korps - DAK saves an awful lot of typing.

Desert Afrika Korps... I am sure Matron won't mind you airbrushing a few up while you are in there!
