Looking great Kenny!

A suggestion for your next 1/48 build with decal seatbelts- apply them to some thin paper, heavy gauge tissue or similar, cut around them, then glue them into place. The paper will give them so,e appropriate scale thickness.

John,

Those you have to cut out yourself. I used, believe it or not, a pair of Kitchen Aid shears. At first I asked myself if that was like using a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb when an M80 would easily get the job done, but they worked really well! They’re super sharp and the thickness of the blades didn’t interfere or damage the material at all. Also- good luck at the bass season opener! Please come back here and post pics of gear and catches too!

Carlos,

Thank you for the sound advice! I’ll use that method next time for sure!

That is the Mk.19 40mm belt fed automatic grenade launcher.... fires grenades at about the same rate as a Ma Deuce.
