Sorry I missed this from the start, but really nice work there Rick!

Quick question -- what did you use for the netting over the barrel?

Cheers,
Ian

Hey Ian,

I used gaze (spelling?) from a first aid kit soaked in a 50/50 mix of white glue and water. Hung it on the barrel in position then generously sprinkled some basil leaves all over. Squinch them down with your fingers and let dry. When dry your able to paint

Rick nice build.
Has anyone noticed that the loaders mg mount sits to high , or is it me ?
It seems to be to tall as the loader would have to get high in the hatch to get at the mg.

Thanks Anthony,

You may be right about the mg mount. When I finally got around to installing it it was in a few more pieces then it was originally LOL.

Here's some more pics.









Let me know what you think.
