Hi All,

Basic masters done for the Storage tubes inside the shield. Moulds are curing for these at the moment so I should be able to cast brackets etc tomorrow and assemble a full set of 4.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Sorting out the parts ready so far to go off to our metal casters, so there isn't so much of a delay when I reach the end of the masters. Took a pic of all the parts so far so you get an idea of how they look individually. There are quite a few parts that will be multiples such as the storage tube brackets, square headed bolts etc.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Sorry but no new parts this weekend. I decided to push on with the remaining assemblies. I have rounded off a few edges and profiled the travel lock wheel a little but very much a nuts, bolts and needle file weekend. A week of riveting stands before me.................

Best regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

Great progress on your PaK 43. I see there is a glass of Rosy in the first pic.
You will probably need a few more glasses to take on all that riveting you may have still to do!
