Ron thats looking great ,really excellent detail work.
Keith, I thought I had finished it. What have I missed, so I can rectify it post haste?\ said:That looks so complicated and I know when you have finished painting it it will look amazing. Makes a very interesting change, something a little different.
That's weird, when I posted my comment I never noticed the finished pics. I think it's because I took a call then posted my message latter. Must have been something like that, or another one of those damn senior moments. It looks great, honest!\ said:Keith, I thought I had finished it. What have I missed, so I can rectify it post haste?
This is an awesome kit and I'm drooling to get one!! Pray tell where\ said:Hi all, here is the finished and primed MG42......and sat on it's tripod.
Quite straight forward considering the loads of working bits. The cocking handle opens, closes and slides along the weapon on a return spring. The top hinges to reveal the breach and there is a mechanism that when opened slides out the replacable barrel.
The bipod folds and clicks under the weapon. Strange thing though, the weapon can't be placed on the tripod with the bipod snapped closed! Also when the MG is on the tripod, the trigger is tucked in meaning the gunner has to weave his hands through the tripod bits and bobs to get at it.....
The MG justs rests on the tripod and is not fixed in any way. This seems daft to me......I have a load of unmentioned bits still left, perhaps these are some sort of clip arrangement? I'll have to have a second look next week some time.
So here are some pictures of the finished MG42 sat on it's tripod....Next will be the two ammo drums, a spare barrel and the ammo belt, then the painting.
Cheers all,
Ron
