Steenv, what did you use to assemble the aluminum lower hull? Epoxy? JB Weld?

hi all, just a quick reply before going to work
I use a special aluminium glue that has a 15 minutes working time to give me time enough to work with the parts
the bolts are from
http://www.wecohe.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
the barrel is names jagdpanther barrel at asiatam, but it actually is a very nice scale fit for the elephant. Will post pictures tonight so that you ca nsee the barrel "premounted"
cheers
Steen

Ohh yeahh - I am very very happy with the parts from you - Its a lot of fun building it
Please, I still need the small parts, and by the way - roadwheels monting L metal arms, do other useally make them from scratch or do you have these also
The bolts are just great. I bought 2 bags from wecoe, and they add a great look to the overall Elephant
