Hi Bodo,
Great looking new Turret for your 222.
Which reminds me I have a 222 in the loft somewhere, must get it down and see what I can do to improve on it, now that I've seen of your turret!

Meanwhile back to my T34.

Cheers

Bodo,
Wow fantastic looking turret. This is a big task to make a new one from scratch, but we know you can definately pull it off. This will be a fantastic addition. I'm amazed at all the brass and copper parts you have made. Great to see more progress.
Best regards,
Bob
