Do you want to see my etchings?

Not some crude line from a 1970s comedy TV show but in this case the MiniArt Egyptian T34/85 tank has some parts made up from etched brass contained in a sheet of etchings.

I am now working on the front panel of the tank body and two of the parts are brackets that are made up of an etched frame and plastic swivel part. The size of what I am dealing with is perhaps best shown in a photograph.

This then needed folding into a U shape and the plastic part inserted. Good test of your eyesight and finger dexterity!

Two of these joined some other parts on the front panel. This is not going to be a quick build as this bit of modelling took an hour and a half!
