The grey pieces are DML bits from the spares box. I wanted to do my own periscope guards using Kencelot's method, but ran out of 26 gauge wire and couldn't get more in a timely manner. The tools that are brass are Collector's Brass items that are American style tools rather than the British style ones included with the kit. All of the tool attachment points and tie downs, .50 cal clips on rear of turret, skirt hanging brackets, tow cable, and tow cable clamps are scratch-built items made from aluminum and brass sheet, aluminum foil (for tie-down straps), picture wire, sheet plastic, brass tube, wire, and hex rod. I dropped the kit .50 on the floor and rolled my chair over it accidently while searching for it so I had to replace it. I used a Skybow .50 cal with a truck pedestal mount instead. I just modified the mount to look more like the type on tanks. The 76mm gun is an offering from Chesapeake Model Designs.
Any comments or criticism is welcome.
