I'll bet it was the threads that was the challenge :tongue-out3:

SimonT is sorely missed …

Hi Artyom
Superb research and scratching.

Thank you friends for a very warm and kind words. My work becomes easier when I have such a feedback! This is 0,7 and 0,6mm Masterclub rivets. I convert them with such equipment.

Wow I had expected you to glue the rivet into the model and then slice it into a screw with a knife or that razor saw.

This variant is too hard because chances to put the saw in the middle are very low. I've tried with knife but saw is much more effective and attractive.

Very impressive method for doing the screws Artyom, details & research are excellent.

Thank you! I am trying to keep calm and do my best step by step :relieved:

Some big problems with ammo shells box. Too narrow on a model. You may see it on the pictures. Holders with rivets are too close to each other. Pay attention that I have moved the main gun and machine gun on my model on a right. So if we want to save the proportions we should increase the box on it's length. Also we need to make the holders on both sides and on a bottom because they are one piece.

And some more information. I wondered what is this on a side of the box. Only from one side. I thought that it was a holder but it looks strange and definitely should be movable. Than I realized that this is hatch to remove ammo shells. By the way I have bought some ammo shells.

You bought an empty bag …? (Of course, I have to point out the cartridge cases are the wrong shape for the Vickers gun in the tank you’re modelling )

But I just took a look at their web site, and wow … those are empty 7.92×57 mm casings with the open end drilled out …?!

That was my first thought :smiling5: But they are on place. :smiling5::smiling5: Captured items of ammo.

Indeed! Magic. I have 1919 Browning and MG-42 from them. It is piece of art. Seriously.

At this scale there won't be a noticeable difference, o/l length and shoulder angle perhaps and a couple of scale mm's in neck diameter......of course , if you could read the scale headstamp then one would know for sure........ :tongue-out3:

Right you are! Unfortunately this is an only decent offer in this scale. :relieved: :smiling2:

I kind of expect Artyom to add the rim to the cases so they look more like .303

of course , if you could read the scale headstamp then one would know for sure........ :tongue-out3:

Having looked at Master Model’s web site, I wouldn’t be surprised if the cases did have headstamps

:smiling2:
Some my photos of their MG-42. I will add it on the turret roof on A30.
