How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
SkyTrex Sherman Crab Cont'd
I trial fitted both arms first to make sure that they were a good fit. Then test fit the arms to the flail drum. I glued the arms to the drum first, whilst keeping the arms in the locating lugs to ensure they were at the correct angle. Once set i then pulled them out, applied glue and fixed the whole piece to the tank hull.
The turret construction was the same as for the AVRE ones, hatches first, test fit and glue in the barrel and then cut and predrill for the aerials.
The only fiddly bit was to drill out and glue in place the target/sighting boards at the rear of the tank. They bend very easily and one of them had been damaged in the post but i was able to glue it back together.
