Thanks Rick.
The new parts arrived so finally I could continue with the MG's. First thing I noticed was that the back part must be used from the kitpart.
The differences are obvious, the cooling jacket and the nozzle at the end of the barrel are totally different. For the first one I used CA-glue. For the second however I used my soldering iron and that went very well. I prefer soldering above glue for strenght. When the first part is ready and the backend of the kitpart is separated from the barrel we have the following parts
When these parts are glued together it's time for the visor can be placed.
When I was working on the second visor the part suddenly jumped out of the tweezers and is eaten by the carpetmonster. I decided to use the visor from the 08 despite the very small difference in diameter. At the front of the jacket there was a bracket to be placed. You can see the parts in the middle.
I think these are very small but the artists who are modelling in 1:72 or 1:144 would laugh at this I reckon. As you can see there are two foldinglines and when the part is folded this is the result
I used a 10 cent coin so you can see the bracket, and yes, this one is folded twice.Last the mounting bracket had to be placed
I'm not even going to try to bend the bracket because 'll certainly break it. O, the large chunk of Non-ferro is the 10 cent coin
And finally an overal shot
Thanks for watching.
