Wouter, Jim, John- thanks for the kind words gents!
Been doing a fair old bit of guitaring these last weeks- I resurrected my first ever Strat (replaced all the electrics and got it playing properly again), bought a new amp (Boss Katana), and started rehearsing bass with my metal band again, so bench time has suffered slightly
I did find time to tackle the commander’s MG though. I made a mounting pintle from spare PE bits, and scratched the ammo can & holding frame from odd bits. A cheeky dry-fit then!
The detail on these 1/72 guns is really quite astonishing! They come with PE bipods and a heat shield that would make them into a US-pattern M240B, but as the IDF use FN MAGs I left those details off. Just got to make the Loader’s MG pintle & ammo box, and the turret grab rails, and I can think about paint...
Thanks for looking chaps,
Alistair☠️
