Fantastic pe work, and so detailed! Does it come pre formed or do you have to bend it your self? If so do you use a bending tool?

ISSUES 61 and 62 BUILDING THE 4in TWIN GUns Hi Team Just thought I would post the work I did on the 4in Guns, there are 7 guns in total so I built them as a batch. I have not fitted the shield to the gun as they will all need painting first. You will see the intricate brass etch (First photo fixing both sides of the rack )But I hope the photos tell the story:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

ISSUE 61 and 62 Well thats all this session, thank you for looking in As usual questions and comments welcome. If you fit the shield and glue it as you are instructed to do you will not be able to paint it internaly which it needs, so paint first. I will leave you with the photos before painting, Kind regards Mike MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
