Still waiting for parts like the Dowel Pins to be used as Axles to arrive from AliExpress and while reviewing the order of operations for the weathering while watching some Night Shift YouTube Videos I noticed I'm missing one of the components my local modelling shop didn't have in stock either so I'm kinda stuck waiting for things to arrive via mail.

Kinda bummed I grabbed a set of ABER Barrel Cleaning Rods plus Photo Etch Mounts meant for a King Tiger and gave it a shot - Didn't get far with the PE 😑

In the end I modelled and 3d printed the Mount and Wingnuts because folding that **** together would lead to nowhere.
I was at least able to salvage the hinged Thread the Wingnut would thread onto the Flap it would close and the Pin it attaches to - Good enough 😏

We now play the waiting game before I can continue... 😖

The only saving grace is a pack of O-Ring I've forgotten about having finally arrived allowing the final assembly of the motorized FPV / Rangefinder and watertight passthroughs for the Swing Arm Axles 😁
