Have been busy with yard stuff and other things the last few.... I finally have been able to get back to this so I can do the machine guns on the sides. The barrels on them are like something from a 60's Aurora kit. Yuck! Besides I like the way the brass barrels look after doing blackening on them. Can't match it with paint.
Have done a few small quick things over the last couple of weeks. Added the inner hubs on the wheels, and some antennas made out of steel wire.
Tomorrow I plan on making the barrels. Not sure how long it will take. Depends on how many times I screw up as these will be done by hand. While I have lots of practice, it is still difficult to get the lengths right. Diameters, not so much as I have some tricks to get it close then measure my way in. The metric dimensions are more accurate and give smaller measurements versus the inch dimensions. I can work with either as I work with metric all the time working on watches. Hopefully it will go quick and smooth. I am almost done with this little beastie, and I am fairly pleased with how it is turning out.

Here are the finished parts. They turned out quite well I believe.
