A quick update, not much progress as I have spent the last 3 days, putting together the 13 oelikon guns, using the pe kit I bought. The pe was so delicate, that I gave up on using the provided barrels and gun body. Instead I used the pe stand and shield and cut off the base of the plastic guns provided in the kit and stuck it to the base.

Looking good Graham.....How you, Alan and indeed anyone who works with fiddly P.E - and succeeds - is beyond me.

I have neither the patience nor the eyesight.....So top marks all round!

Thanks for the comments. The PE stuff does take patience, a magnifying glass and plenty of swearing.

[Guest]
