Mats you have to tell me how you got that styrene to bend so nicely.

Re: LRDG chevrolet and Quad with 6 pdr. gun by Bagge
MP it was not so difficult B) , i bent it over a piece of wood with a rounded edge and then adjusted it to the right angle, if you don't have to sharp corners then it's going fine, otherwise you have to softern the styrene a little bit so it wont break (with heat or glue).

MP, i will start use the MA gallery from now
Here i am now, gave the canvas top some surface treatment with thin glue and a brush.
Went trough the spare-parts box and found some goodies, bagpipe anyone?
added some details to the interior, found a german tropical helmet as a souvenir.
Found out how the hinges on the door should look like, so i started to carve away B)
Bought some Evergreen clear styrene today for the windows in the door, will take away the divider and make sliding windows as i read that they had.

I just hope it don't include sound!
Mats you can use any image hosting you'd like, just some times it may take me longer to notice. Looking fine buddy.

Mats,
The 6 pounder barrel isn't supposed to pulled back during transport.
It's pulled back when it fires its rounds,with other words the recoil pulls the barrel back!
If it doesn't make sence,say so ,and in a pm I will explane in Dutch,
[don't know how your Dutch is by now,but I am pretty sure there is someone who can translate!]
Groeten,Ron.

Hey Mats
That 6pdr is much nicer than the Tamiya one... much more like the prototype.
Also, on the discussion of barrels for these, yes, they stayed in the pre-firing position while in transit, but the elevation was wound almost to the highest point so the bottom of the barrel stay would line up with the two raised locators at the gun end of the trails.
Also, you may want to have a think about what barrel length you are wanting to use. There were a couple of barrel lengths, the L/43 and L/50. Most of the pics I've seen of desert guns have had L/43 barrels, but there is no hard and fast rules.
A good source for the info on these guns is on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_6_pounder). The contributors have done a lot of research on this gun, and is well worth a read.
I hope this helps.
