    The ducts would be the first to go, then the canvas over guns, vents etc. and everything else only later, when there was time. That’s why I went to all that trouble with my Churchill AVRE with SBG bridge

      John you can sit next to me as long as you don't hog all of the snacks. And keep your cell turned off, that kinda triggers Paul

        OK, got it the wrong way round: first the waterproof covers, then the ducts. Here’s what the manual actually says:

        [ATTACH]496626[/ATTACH]
        [ATTACH]496627[/ATTACH]

        Inserting plugs and switching on lamps is because these connect to leads going to electrical detonators, that will set off lengths of Cordtex (detonating cord) behind the waterproof fabrics over various openings. Stages 5 and 6 are clearly intended to be done when the action has died down, so if you add ducts to a model, everything that is only removed in those stages would still need to be present as well. That quickly turns into a lot of work, though.

          Oh no! not another of these got to replace everything including the kitchen sink builds.... Notice the front rank scroungers were first on the scene grabbing all the biscuits and leaving the broken ones for the rest of us - you know who your are Si and Jim....
          Looking good Paul, another one of your masterpieces by the look of it.

                Very nice Paul
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                      Not a lot of time at the bench lately but things are progressing slowly. I won't bore you with descriptions as the PE is self evident. The only things apart from that is the new crow bar, the shovel has been thinned down and the front side lights have been scratched along with their cables. The only other additions are the headlight guards Have been made from wire. I only made these as two from kit were missing.

                      Oh and one bin lid was replaced to give it a bit of a dent.
