I will find some fuse holders to go in the fuse box to complete the inside and finished the flag holders less the leatherette bag that is riveted below.

I have fitted the parts in the turret and will take some pics later but I have also been finishing off the smoke launchers. The firing pin is spring loaded and I have used some stainless rod for that.

Al the components have to be a certain thickness so once it is together it has to move freely.

Sorry there is so many photos but I use this as my reference as well. A bit of mucking around in making the extractor parts because of the small tolerances that have to achieved for it to operate well.

I would think about another day should see these done but we all know how anything can change. Anyway the extractor works very well as a dry run but no doubt it will all need a bit of tweaking here and there once it is all together as I do want them to operate as they should. Of course they will never fire a real projectile A good simulation is my only goal.

Hi Bob, Fosters was launched in 1889 and sorry to say but it's just not that popular in Australia. Personally I think it's a bit like soapy water but that's just my opinion of course
