Try girls hair bobbles ! they come in all different sizes and some are just about right for 1/48 or 1/35.
They can be painted and can be bought in multi packs and are cheap. Give them a try I used them on one of my Land Rover models.

Thanks Neil, that's one thing I never thought to try ....

Brent.
Nice work and paint job Sir.

A small but important point to note is, the area just forward and behind where the 30mm RARDEN barrel passes through the front end of the trough is never painted but left Steel (Silver).

There are four damper/guides within the circular portion, which is opened by removing a retaining pin in order to speed up the unscrewing and removal of the barrel.

A small guage can be inserted between the dampers and the clean, unpainted portion to ensure the correct stand off distance from the barrel. Due to length of the barrel they are needed to help with the vibration/flexing during recoil.

Keep up this great work.

Keith.
