Not done much more but after seeing Davids excellent Tiger in B&W here is the Kubel , but please excuse the setting .Once its done and the figures are done I will find a more suitable setting but unfornutally it wont be North Africa .

Just a little done today , Ive improved the gear stick. I made a new one from copper tube added three rubber o rings to form the rubber base and re mounted the top ball . I have also added the choke missing from the Dragon Kubel.

Here are the working rifle clamps and butt holders from Mike. The mounting bracket I've made from a thin piece of steal bent and shaped as close as i could get it. I just need to paint the clamps and fit the leather pieces and make some rubber bungs.

Here is another picture showing the dial fitted .I chose the early version dial with VW logo . Sorry its not a clear pict as these dials are excellent . I have also recessed the dial and added a clear lens and rim.
