Refurbishment of my newly acquired 88 parts, anyone have a Tiger 1 cannon they don't want?

Hi Phil, I always thought the canon on the flak gun was much longer than the one on the tiger. Are they the same?

Internally very similar as you would expect Brian, I would need to do some turing to the outside diameters.

I think I'm ok posting photos of our 88 so long as I don't show my own parts? I do hope the 88 is re-released as it's a great piece.

I now have a little time to work on the Flak once more, lots more Armortek parts found and those I can't find I shall make.

That's one coms reel almost complete, just need to make those brackets with the loop and load the cable.

The brakemans chair and 5 mtrs of coms cable is not going to be enough.
You guys are going to love building the new flak kit from Armortek, there's so much going on and so much to go on.

Lift winch handles and setting out the braking linkages

Hi phil
That baby is looking rearly good bud.
Will chat with you in the week.

Take care and keep safe
Best regards

Adding all the pioneer tools is a lot of work as I'm having to make all the brackets from scratch.

Amazing work Phil.

The sledge hammer brackets have taken all afternoon and still require another 2 hours to finish, there are a couple of questions for the guys that know that I really need answers to.

Moving on
