I agree with you... no need for PE this time. Bet you are enjoying the break. Really looking great!
Please send rain over here as we haven't had rain for weeks.

Andy now you know I don't mind doing PE  ;D Dan i'm not real sure about that green striped one so more than likely i'll just go with the dark yellow.  ?? Making the other two Jib legs right now so we'll see ya later Tony |

We're back Saul also known as "Sharks Mouth" said he had a line drawing that showed one of the legs stuck through the angle braces under the trailing arm storage rails but not the location of the fourth leg. I figured if one was under there why not have the forth one on top in the space behind the trailing arms, works for me.  Not what you would call Ron Lebert quality but they'll serve the purpose. OK on with the show Tony |

Howdy Everyone I did a couple of improvements: Drilled and pinned the rear door hinges so they open and close.  Also made this missing shaft but I didn't forget the upper support bracket that Lebert did. I got one up on him ;D  There's a couple more PE parts to bend up and the tracks should complete the construction. Then there's a few seams to fill before primer. The Weekend Is Here  Tony |

Recoil Bar so that's what it is a recoil bar. Unless something jumps out at me that's the last of the freelancing Tex. Thanks to all you guys appreciate it Tony |

Here we are again gang. ;D I think i've found another Dragon kit and or instruction error. The instructions in step 13 call for PE parts AM-11 and AM-12 to make the small bracket that are installed on the housings under the ammo storage racks on each side. AM-12 on the left and AM-11 on the right  Back in step 6, AM-12 is used for the vision port struts and I think AM-11 is the strut mount that is not labeled on the instructions so that leaves us without those housing brackets. If you don't build with the vision ports open you could use AM-11 for those brackets even though they won't be totally correct or make your own with Evergreen or scrap PE. I used scrap PE  What these held is anyones guess after all these years? ?? The Friul tracks are built and those seams filled that I mentioned earlier. OK see you later Tony |

Can't have a DML kit without at least one error in the instructions Tony, it's not natural! Your guess is as good as mine as to what the brackets were for...Germans put brackets for stuff all over the place depending on the need and available space. |
