Hi Capt Nemo
I liked your balloon mantlet cover trick so much I copied it on my M26A1 -
http://hobbyhavoc.com/forum/index.ph...5.msg36251#new - see reply 57. However, just had a warning from Mario, that the balloon rubber & plastic might react together & destroy the plastic. I used WAJ (What A Job -
http://www.chirienterprise.com/Job-I...ob-Indust.html - read the spec sheet) on my turret as a casting effect surfacer, which will hopefully negate the problem - it's chemically inert. I'll have to check that I've got no rubber/plastic contact points hidden away between mantlet & turret.
Thought I'd pass on the warning. You're doing an excellent job on the M60, looking fwd to the next installment.
