No, that was not possible. At that time the chamber was not yet installed  ;D

Many thanks  ;)

Sometimes things don't work out the way they should - but better days will surely come again.
I don't want to complain, it's going well so far ...   ;)

   Magnificent craftsmanship Bertl, your detailing is beyond comparison! A beautiful model, the break certainly didn't harm your skills and this is a real pleasure to follow!
Cheers,
Lance

After the MG and the upper tension turret were mounted, I could continue with the mount for the ammunition clips.
Directly OoB two etched parts are offered for this.
I used these as well because they look very nice and coherent.
However, I sanded them a little thinner.
Due to the fact that I didn't use the OoB-Mg but a heavily modified Hotchkiss-MG from Gaspatch, the cartridge breech box slipped about two ore three tenths of a millimeter towards the pilot's seat.
For this reason, I had to add a second bracket just below the table-style ammo clip holder.
So that everything could be mounted sufficiently stable, I have shown the ammo clip as half empty.
Thus I could glue both clip holders through the clip etching part.

Here are pictures of the installation of the small windshield.
I had removed a lot of material here so that the windshield looks thinner and more true to scale.
Of course, the contour had to be adapted to the engine cowling, as well as the opening for the MG.
To determine the mounting position I fixed the Plexiglas windshield with Patafix.

You already know the following pictures.
The windshield is already firmly glued here.
But for your attention: Also on this small part, slight paint flakes were shown on the frame so that this small detail fits to the "used" overall picture.
To show the chipped paint, the window frame was first painted in aluminum, then in semi-gloss-black.
The tiny paint chips were created with a knife, sandpaper and steel wool.

Here are some more pictures of the upper tension tower.
The attachment of the tensioning ropes.
Here I used 0.1mm thick silver wire, which was inserted into the tensioning tower in the correct direction and fixed with superglue.

In the original ....



and in the model ....

So my dear fellow model builders, you can see from the date display on the pictures that we are partly already in the "now time", you are now up to date with the construction of the little Morane.
There is not much work left to do, but some time will pass until the little monoplane will be on its display.

Of course I will not say goodbye again after this ongoing built report - I plan to start a new built report here shortly.
So that you can find out which model it is, here are two pictures.
I am really curious who of you will guess it ...  ???
To make it easier, it is a wingnut model  8)

Beautiful work, Bertl! All those tiny details are really crisp and really look the part. Very inspiring indeed!
