Limit stops were glued to the underside to prevent too much movement.

The outriggers pivot like on the real gun.

I replaced the hinge parts. Originally they were diecut cardboard, but I was afraid they would disintegrate after a while. I cut them out of basswood. You can see an old piece on the round part of the frame.

Start gluing the parts together and soon you will have a gun.

Anybody remember Lepage's Cement? Before my time. I only remember them making school glue with a funny rubber tip. The card is from Polk's Hobbys in New York. This kit was sent as a gift to a serviceman during WW2

The drawings are good. It helps to have taken drafting to read plans. The text is very dense. Parts aren't numbered. In some cases just vaguely described.

140 parts listed. Wood, cardboard, manila paper, plastic. A multi-media kit long before they were in vogue.

Something for the bad guys to shoot at. And something to shoot back at them. An old kit from the 1940s.
