155mm Gun: Part 2

After the difficulty of working in the aluminum barrel, the rest of this segment went pretty easy. I chose the Eduard parts over the Verlinden, except for the hinges between the two halves of the gun shield. Eduard has them in two pieces, which won't offer enough support to keep it all together.

One point of confusion is that Academy gives you a stowage box that mounts on the gun shield, Eduard gives a simple metal plate. Research is inconclusive so far, but I leaned toward the Eduard variation just because I can't see a box in photos and I would expect it to show up fairly well.

I also decided that I am going to show the vehicle in a transport configuration, not a firing stance, so the travel lock was attached here and it's all glued level. I did prop everything up in the hull to make sure it all lines up.
