Thanks Carl and Nexusys,

I am working on the primary bustle which I have to shorten by approx. .125" and getting the side bustle bars fitted.
Also plugging all the unused holes I have created by using the Trumpeter parts as opposed to the HL parts.

Cheers,
Barry

OOooooohh............the turret now begins.
Not being familiar with these, I assume you have a virtual library of reference pics that you conjured up that mortal humans can use to plot the way to there own M1 masterpiece !

Im watching Mr C, and short of light hearted interludes, have nothing but admiration to offer ;)

I think General Dynamics might raid Barry's house and confiscate his tank

Nah..........they will leave the tank & confiscate Barry !!! :shifty:

An amateur question...........why is there an absence of visible welds.?
I assume the overlay of ceramic armour and the fact that a welded joint may be a weak spot ?

Carl,

As a former employee and retired my monthly check comes from General Dynamics! :thumbup:
Hopefully they will take that into consideration.
