Ok...This Is DONE!!!
Had a Major set back at first with the molding......
I had all the parts set up and ready to go....
I poured the rubber......
Then...it happened........
the mold fell off the table and landed face down on the carpet. :shock:
I "thought" I grabbed it quick enough....
but there was no way of knowing the extent of the damage. :cry:
Not...until this morning, when the rubber was all cured.
I looked at it, two of the tires had broken free and floated to the surface before the rubber cured.
"SIGH"....I started to look and see how many of the parts did the same thing........
almost all of them.... so I spent three hours doing exploratory surgery to find all the parts.
then three more hours repairing the parts, resetting them for molding, and poring the rubber again.
THEN.....THEN.....I had to force my self to leave the shop.....and take a long nap.
Otherwise I'd have kept screwing with the molds before they cured, and if I ruined them again.....
I'd just go and SHOOT myself.
Well as you can see if you're reading this......
I didn't shoot myself, AND everything must be going right....because I am here to POST. :yahoo:
Soooooooo......here we go

The main differences from the War Time version?
Different Tires, different .30 cal(s), and the Black-Out Drive Lamp by the Driver's Side Headlight.

You will see that I have circled certain points of interest, some have strictly to do with the War Time Version,
I.E. the Black Out Lamp, but the rest are just to Grab you attention.
