Bubbles get into the mold when its curing. Sometimes into the resin during the same. I spent a very curious evening last night with an air tight tupperware box, a length of rubber hose and pump from a breast pump building a vacuum chamber to deal with just this issue!
And thats my story and im sticking to it!

I fitted this small but noticeable part from Eddy today, hatch periscope from a Tamiya Pershing!

Ad Lav,
It's a beautiful job of a Sherman. Top drawer all the way round. Including those excellent figures. Don't forget to cut yourself a lens for your periscope.
regards,
Painless

Thank you Carl! Praise indeed.
