Chapter 5 - Turret Correction Step 3
After the cement is dried, I added the TOGS front and top panels. Some putty work to fill small gaps and bring out the shape. Then I added the AA front CIP panels and the base plates of the smoke chargers.
1. The handle on the housing top is scrath built with plastic and brass rods, and part of the replacment from Eduard. (because the Eduard handle is flat and doesn't look good)
2. 2 hinges added to the TOGS hatch, using some brass parts from my tool box.
3. The details on the front panel are filled and sanded flat, new details are carved using Xacto blade and a 0.4mm drill bit.(a square surrounding the gun, and 7 small holes)
4. It is the AA replacment chain-gun.
5. The wing-nuts on the AA parts were good, but I break couples of them when I cleaned up the parts. So I removed all of them and replaced with brass wing nuts from Aber. (Note, PE wing-nut has details on one side only. I glued 2 together so it has details on both side. But it can't be noticed easily after you finished the model, as they are really so small.) |
