Hope you have plenty of popcorn left John! LOL Still more to this show. Just bought a 50 pound bag - I hope that is enough! Looking good - I had this kit but just traded it away for a Tiran 5... |

John,thank you! You have more than enough popcorn.
You did the right thing trading this kit.There'so much that goes on the turret that the instructions are sort of jumbled as to their placement.

Any progress is good progress Leon! Sounds like AFV hired the Dragon guy for their instructions. |

Post by Leon on May 2, 2016 18:20:16 GMT -5
Thank you Bill! I think you right about AFV hiring the Dragon guy.  Had to use the optivisor to follow the arrow from the part # to were it should be located on the turret.  |

Morning fellas,the turret is now finished! Assembled the smoke dischargers last night and got the barrel finished a few minutes ago.I didn't glue the mantlet dust cover or discharge covers on as they are a dry fit.Time for primer and paint.Hope you like the progress. Only thing left to do is assemble the MGs and personal weapons.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking,as always ACW. |
