LEON!!! Don't use words like disaster... I damn near had a heart attack! Good save on the "slight deviation from the build schedule..."  |

Leon
Got to second that!! I'm reading this before turning the lights out for the night and the word disaster woke me right up. 😨
Also, until you've seen some of my builds close up you won't appreciate what a disaster really is! 😥
Take care.
Andrew

OK Andrew,disaster is out of my vocabulary! Minor mishap would have been better. |

How about a "temporary deviation from the order of assembly"?

Joel,that works for me! Lets hope there are no more deviations. |

Cool, whoda thunk that the MG42 would still be going strong after 70 plus years. What about Browning M2HB? Same story, developed 1918... You're aware that MG42 and MG3 have some slight differences in detail, namely cadence and caliber, and that the US M60 is a copy of the MG42 regarding its function? |
