Ok, So the Bren guns were glued up with some epoxy at the same time, the barrels were installed on the cannons.

The second picture is one more slam or jab at Emhar and their crappy offering.

Thanks for checking in! We are rolling now!

Thanks, Swordsman!
Bob!
Thanks, Jeeves/Mike. Too kind.
Thanks emoji minders.

Over all I think this a great kit. It was not the cleanest build on my part, but I think it will paint up well. Lots of real estate on this one.
The brass machine gun barrels are heavy, and the ball swivews are a little loose in their mounts, so they are a bit floppy at this point. They should stiffen up with a little paint (not too much). The forward facing gun was already glued in whenI decided to order the Arber bits.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Bill

Main color coat of Tamiya Khaki (XF-49) was sprayed over AK chipping effects fluid (like the "hairspray" technique), and some of the paint was removed by scratching and scrubbing with a stiff paint brush.
