continue with the brake system of the show, unfortunately, I could not attach the left pipe mount to the point where it sits in the original, since Armortek had not provided this point behind the winch. Too bad so the attachment is now 8mm left

Now I have started work on the gun itself. Here too, there would have been more air at the top, but I do not want to moan about AT. It's not advertised as a scale model

Hi
Last night I rebuilt the bullet trigger mechanism 6 long hours. on the trigger latch I'm particularly proud. As usual, Armortek has no plans here
