Afternoon Steve,
Progressing nicely, sorry can’t be any help with your questions

Hi Steve
From the top, the large tube is the spare MG barrel holder which is next to 4 smaller flag holders

Your question about the filler cap is answered too and there is a bit missing as you can see, both always to the engine compartment, and an additional bit under the floor, still don't know exactly what it is though!

I have learnt a lot from the diagrams. I thought the boxes by the gear box were ammo cases but are in fact battery boxes.:smiling5::smiling3:

The MG 13 was fed from 75-round drum magazines

Apparently our fuel cap is in fact a rotary transmitter?? So I looked it up and it seems the Rotary Transmitter is used for signal transmission of transducers on a rotating part like the engine shaft, to a stationary system like a radio.

Are you talking about the Drehübertrager? That’s what in English you’d probably call a slip ring — it serves to create an electrical conduit between rotating parts, such as between the hull and turret of a vehicle.

Steve,
When I asked that it was when we were waiting for something to happen !
Looks good , how much of a struggle has it been not to starting your normal detailing. ! :smiling2: bet your chomping on the bit to make some changes.
Luckily my version has no internals ! :smiling2:

I can’t imagine dr Jones not doing SOME type of enhancement to this kit...that would truly be madness

[rtfoe]

Steve...you must already be fidgeting on your seat...hand starting to tremble, nostrils aching for the smell of cynoacrylate and eyes darting across the table at the set of etch lying there...

Stay strong bro...stay strong...:tears-of-joy::smiling6: The internals are looking nice...just needs one or two bling to bring it up a notch or two :smirk::thinking::smiling6:

Cheers,
Richard

Steve,
Looking good for OOB, will hang around and observe a master at work.
But remember the dark side are watching for any slip in your strength and resolve, you of course will need a full re-education after this transgression.
Go on - stick those fingers together - we dare you....
Cheers,
Mike.

Hi Everyone

Sorry John. Must have been a senior moment. Hope your happy its finally off and running. Appreciate your company and encouragement:thumb2::thumb2:
Madness its going to be then Joe as no enhancements are going to be made. Although its very difficult not to:smiling5::smiling6:
Looks like most of the bling is up top but looking forward to the PE Richard
I am so tempted Mike. There are a few glaring mistakes already. However as its a competition piece I must obey the rules and do OOB only.

Looking very good Mr. Jones.
Cheers, Rick H.

Steve,
Will follow this along. It looks like a nicely detailed little kit and you are off to a great start.

[rtfoe]

You're making plastic look like it was metal underneath...way to go Steve. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

Blimey that was quick!
Great to see some painting already, nothing quite like a quick OOB build to raise the old moggeling mojo:smiling4:
