Gun Mantel alignment.

[Malcolm.Plumb]

I'm just testing fitting the mantle to the turret front and have noticed something that doesn't look right when the bolts are tightened up

The alignment is quite a way out with a noticeable difference from the left to the right in the position of the part.

The machined inners of the two parts line up perfectly though.


Has every one else doing the build have the same thing?

Hi Malcolm,

Have no fear, IRL the mantle was off center to the right as seen in the pics below.

Kind regards
Kent

Thanks Kent

That's a sigh of relief then
As long as I know that this is correct I can just chamfer off the overhang on the left hand side and blend it in.
