LSP_K2 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Work continues on the gunners pedal area, with yet more details being added. The pattern on the pedals themselves seems to be fairly accurate, if a tad overstated. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks, Iain, I appreciate it. After almost giving up on my search for the dies, I finally found two of them, so now adding all the little discs and dots can commence. I'm a happy guy!

LSP_K2 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 While scouring my references, I stumbled upon a couple of details that I had not seen before, under the gun elevation arm (for lack of a better term). I have no idea what this loop is for, but I added it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Oh and Kevin have you seen Jeff (Reef12)'s build on Sixth Army Groups forum? http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21098 Has some Interesting reference pictures. Might be worth a look. Dan I've been eyeballing his progress for several days now, and like what I see so far. (I must say though, that a site where a bunch of grown men play with dolls is a bit creepy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jeff is doing a real good job on his Flak, and that's primarily the reason I visit there. I've picked up a lot of valuable info already, so thanks again very much for the link, Dan, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 One thing I'm really wresting with, is whether or not to add the wing armor (for lack of a better term). Many photos show the gun in the field without them, but I think they look pretty awesome with them. Adding them creates its own problems though, problems that as yet, I've been unable to sort out.

LSP_K2 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 This linkage was badly warped, and inaccurate, so I decided to replace the offending piece with plastic tube and some hex adjusting nuts I fabricated. Far from perfect, but I feel it's an improvement nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You well know how much I like your build but even more I like your attitude Kev. While you can build these Dragon kits straight from the box and have a rough approximation of the real thing and be very happy with the results. You can do as you are doing and critically look at each piece and add details or replace whole parts to make a stunningly accurate model of the actual weapon. Your quad 20mm will be a very impressive beast once you have her finished. Dan Agreed! This one will be a real winner when done K2 LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks, fellas. Adding all this stuff, makes me feel that detailing a 1:32 fighter would be a snap after this. Now that I actually know what it is (not that I needed to know), the spirit level and associated brackets have now been added. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Though technically not correct, I've used .005 discs to represent the flush head screws here;... a lot easier than countersinking the holes and using real screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
