Next up is the affectionately known bird table. This houses anti IED antennas and other bits. The top and bottom come separately with pre made holes for the legs and the main 3 antenna.

Be really careful you get the top piece the right way round as it wasnt readily obvious to me and there seem to be different configurations on the real one.

I found the singular leg is at the front and the two at the rear and on top the single holes at the front and two at the rear. In addition there are two extra antenna bases for either side of the bird table.

The legs are hollow plastic tubes and cone with 3 resin pieces which plug in and allow the bird table to sit flat. The short one at the front and two longer ones at the back. They also are slightly sloped at the bottom to match the angle of the turret so make sure they're oriented properly.

At this point the detail bug got the better of me and I cracked out the brass.

I've added normal antennas and had a stab at the bird cage arrangement.
