Bismarck Pack 5 - Stage 53


Recommended Posts

Completing the second gun and turret..IMG_0254.thumb.jpg.a6d536808ed7831b1a85fd2a19fdbcda.jpg

Before putting it all together, firstly I added the two barbettes to deck:

and then the two range finder hoods and the two metal ladderson either side and of the gun housing

As mentioned in Stage 51 diary I put the red wire on the wrong way up, you can see in this next image that the wire is too far inside the based has to bend back to get out of the circular base, this caused some jamming in the movement of the guns,IMG_0259.thumb.jpg.235c83c5f8da211fe9f814542f6df739.jpg

 

The solution was to disassemble everything and turn the circuit board and wires 180 degrees so they they fit like this:

Allowing free movement of the guns:

Here is the nearly-final construction....IMG_0264.thumb.jpg.b9d2d44c2851196e7e1042f9254bd141.jpg

 

..but then I noticed I had forgotten to add the two small black periscopes to either side:
