Thanks! Do you have reference photos I can access?

Cheers, Tom

The 50 cal looks great :thumbup: but you must look at the front sight. It should be hollow with a sight blade inside it. With all the other fine detail you don't want to miss that.

Thank you! I will look to add this. There are some other details I missed as well, such as the rings under the gun cradle

Barry, thanks! The screen is just some nylon screen I've had for so long I've forgotten the source. At least I think it's nylon: it responds well to Tamiya extra-thin cement.
