Damn....something went terribly wrong here..
Wanted to correct a wrong written word, instead of editting the post, I must have pressed quote.
Damn fingers on the bloody cell phone...pff...
Maybe one of the chiefs on here will help me out and delete the double posts...
Cannot find how to correct it myself...
Rob.

Just finished making the MG moveable.
I mounted it ontop of the MG shield. That was an option to mount the gun as anti aircraft defence.
Now it is moveable in all directions.
Up/down and right or left.

Changed a few things. Added a 90°bend piece of 1mm aluminum onto the bracket which goes on top, into the shield. Makes it a bit more firm.
I also cut off the screw's head on top of the MG.

I have to ad a comment to the little vid I posted, the MG with bracket is not secured/glued onto the shield yet.
That is why it looks a bit wobly when I turn it around. In the end, the MG comes even off the bracket.
First I have to brush the entire assault gun with paint, before I can glue the MG.
This afternoon the inspection hatches for on top of the transmission, came in too.

Nice work Rob.

I need to get back to my Finnish Stug when the Sherman is finished.
