I would like to start off this posting by: acknowledging and expressing my sincere thanks and gratitude to DD. Sorry, but I had to say it on the forum. Now, more than ever, I can understand such professional modelers defer to him. Thank you, DD. In this view, I'm starting to do a couple of things. I've decided to photograph the airframe against a black background to help bring our some detailing. I've already planked the lower wing and test-fitting onto the fuselage.

I dipped a small paint brush into silver pain and dabbed it onto a paper towel until it was almost dry and then dry-brushed onto the stock accessories to give them some highlights.

Cutting up some small accessories to the stock portion of the gun.

Stock of the gun. The hole is when I accidentally pushed the pin too far in my attempts to simulate rivets. this is okay, since this part will be hidden. I apologize for the slightly blurry image.

Using my best guess (eyeballing), I figured the stock to the gun would be about j"just so big" and cut a block of balsa wood. Used left over plastic cut and scored to shape the stock. Then used a pin to push out some rivets.

Small front end was made from tubular strips of plastic cut down short. Used a pin to help located the holes followed by using a pin vise.

Starting to look like a Vickers...

Super glued each strip until the whole barrel was covered.

To simulate the long grooves on the main barrel, I cut short strips of .060" half-round plastic strips. The chose of thickness of the strips was purely arbitrary as it "looked just about right."

The tape was wrapped as many times necessary to achieve the desired thickness. In this case, it was just twice.
