How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
Building the Small Box Girder Bridge Layer (SBG) cont'd (the last bit)
The last couple of bits were to clean up and assemble the winch unit that sits on the back of the tank. This was so simple to build that I forgot to take photos of it!
Next was to assemble the turret, I selected a Mk III turret as this matched all of the reference photos I had. Two points to note with this turret, firstly the petard mortar is a VERY tight fit in the gun mantlet, so much so that you may bend or break them if you are not careful. Secondly, the rear turret piece has a bar on it for fixing the back bin to. Make sure that it is in its lowest position in relation to the the turret top, or you will end up cutting it off and eyeballing where the bin should be fixed to the turret.
