Right now I´m at work with matthew´s Tankhunter-kit. Who has built it before and could give me some infos, hints or tricks for building??? I´ve got no information or plan for building it.
Thanks

I'll be getting this kit next, and would be interested in some WIP pics as well.

I moved a lot of the Stuka conversions. But people were happy to just put the cannons on their Stuka.

The cannon add ons were a lot easier to build rather than cut the nose off and deal with the vacuform glass and frames.

It should be a farley easy converssion but I have not seen anybodies projects.

Right no I´ve done the wings and sawing action at the nose. My main problem is the canopy with the vacuformed glass and the frames. And does somebody have the exact measures for the underwing drillings for the guns?

Are you talking about the cannons ? If so pop off the dive brake. The front bracket fits right inside against the stub.

That is your starting point. Line up the barrel with the panel lines. Mark your holes. Take off drill holes ( or glue )
Screw the bracket on. locate the rear holding clip and do the same.

The later versions did not have the dive brakes and I think some did not even come with the dive break stubs.

Thanks for the info. I´m at work with the guns right now.
