Been picking away at the Turret and have gotten this far.  I was going to mount the Armor Blocks to the turret next but there are no locating marks and (what do you know) the instructions are not very clear.  So here's a block dry fitted in the general area.  About the only way I can figure out where they go I think is to mount the Turret bar armor brackets and dry fit the armor. That should give me a good idea as to where the blocks need to go........I think. Looks like it's PE time.  To that end, there's a Bug on my bench.  I'll be back later, I hope |

Thanks, Mence. It is pretty squinty, that's for sure.  'Fish. Foolish is more like it, Buddy. Well a lot of work for a very small bit of progress. Mounting brackets bent and in place. Those weren't too bad.    Turret Bar Armor trimmed and bent. This by far the most fragile PE I've worked with. Uber thin and flimsy. You touch it and it goes all wonky.  Next I had to figure out how to dry fit it in place so I could get an idea of where the Blocks went. Came up with this. Crude but it worked. Don't know if you can see it but I marked the Turret, both sides, to get placement points for the rear edges of the blocks.  Lightly glued the Blocks in place so I could adjust them as needed, fiddled around a lot and got them in place well enough so the Bar Armor can be glued to the blocks with no gaps and ended up with this.   Phew, As always, ACW |
