Latest Progress on the easy8:
Made a brass arm for the elevation, needs a little more tweaking to get full depression (longer slot) but otherwise works ok.
Brass strip makes the recoil linkage. A simple steel pin holds the barrel in place, the holder tube will keep it in place once its all installed.
Also got the mg LED and TBU/IR LED installed.
Next up is fixing the turret rotation - its pretty pathetic to say the least, even after stripping the gearbox and swapping the slipper gear around.
