Not sure this single brass lip will be enough so I may add two more either side.
At the back as you can see I have solidly glued in some styrene attachment points for the back two screws.
Because of the sloping rear motor deck the back armour plate need re-sizing which in turn meant that the rear attachment bolts needed to be re-positioned.
Enough of the superstructure has been assembled to allow a first undercoat. The Jag has been undercoated in Red Oxide to make it easier to spot blemishes in the resin, any holes that need to be filled and to allow some contrast for a few milliput weld beads that need to be done.
As can be seen the main gun is in place. However, it is NOT the main gun suppiled in the kit. If one goes back in this thread to the first pictures of the kit pieces the main gun that is supplied comes in two parts. When it came time to put the gun together I noticed that the main barrel part was warped and pretty much unusuable. This has pretty much has forced me into getting a Tank-Modellbau replacement and at 44 Euro it will hurt the hip pocket. In the mean time I have installed the gun from my L70 (A) kit. Profiline have reworked the gun for this kit as obviously I'm not the only one with a stuffed barrel. In the L70 (A) kit the gun is one piece and has a solid brass rod running through the middle (nice & straight). BUT why oh why a solid rod? Why Profiline why? If a brass TUBE was there instead one could pass wires through for any type of LED in the barrel.
The mount for the headlight on the original kit was horrid as it was only meant to accept the supplied HL light. It was cut off and a nice Schumo headlight installed instead.
