    Thanks Richard, that means a lot to me.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Hi Garry
        Well that's a result you should be proud of.

                        Looking good, and very big

                        Just one question: is the ammo feed supposed to be brass in colour? I would have thought that the thing attached to the gun is a chute that the belt runs through, rather than having a loose belt hanging from the gun like this?

                              Thanks Jakko, yes the ammo belt is painted as indicated by Revell, which is a thin black belt with the brass shells showing either side.
                              The feed became a real pain in the rear end. It feeds from the top of the ammo box next to the MG into the side of the MG, however no matter what I did I couldn't make it fit, the shape was just wrong. So in the end for sanity sake I installed it to the bottom of the box. Also for some unknown reason the belt was moulded in two sections which are visible in the pic, which made it incredibly difficult to handle and install (it came apart so many times) to the extent that I was in two minds as to whether to even mount the MG at all, as visually it looks shabby.
                              I went with it in the end :smiling2:
