Ok, here is one side of the turret basket basically done.
What a job. I told myself I was not going to do this. I still need to make new tabs on the back of the turret to attach it since the cast one ones broke off in shipping on every one of the turrets I have. Also going to make new brass tabs on the basket to mount the ends to the turret despite having the cast brackets to glue on. Im just using them to mate up the parts then I will replace with brass for strength. Note, the bottom plastic L brackets are not glued in yet so they are floating, which means they are crooked until I glue it all together, they are just for alignment not really strength at this point.
Sigh, I still have the other side to make and then a whole nother set too for the Italian tank.....
