right, made a start on this one

got the cockpit painted and put together, i'm learning to love this pre-painted PE cockpit stuff !!!
the last pic is a little blurred but i could not get a better shot, sorry

 

[Wurger]

Very nice Karl.

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice work Karl, that pre-painted stuff looks great. Don't you just hate it when the camera wants to focus everywhere but where you want it to focus

 

[Airframes]

Great stuff Karl, and how I sometimes miss the manual focus of my old SLRs !

 

[Crimea_River]

Great looking pit Karl.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good one Karl, these pre-painted PEs are marvellous and it's a sad moment when one has to actually paint one.

I miss my 7.62 SLR...(Great rifle!)

Great work so far Karl!

 

[Airframes]

You can say that again Evan. Hit something with one of those, and it stayed hit!! Much better than that toy-town 5.56 stuff !!
Did a firepower demo many years ago, with section strength (9x SLR, 1x GPMG), and knocked the front off a cottage!!

me too Evan, was only talking about this subject with Terry last week when i was at his house !!!!

Cool stuff mate!

I was very sorry when they replaced the trusty 'Slar' with Steyr AUGs in NZ (1992). The reason given was the shorter length being better for bush combat, but we were informed economic logic had a large play in it (wounded soldiers cost money, dead ones don't).
Being semi-autos, no Slars were allowed to be sold on the NZ market either, so they all went to Oz - along with the remaining Brens (I could have cried...)

Btw, did you guys call the GPMG 'Gimpies' aswell?
