The second Biber trailer turned up yesterday to help with the broken parts but I’m still on the Hase Wirbelwind I opened up to fill in the time waiting.

I’ve gone a bit AMS on this as I had the Eduard Zimmerit brass set and I’ve also got some Schatton Modelbau brass barrels. They are still a  fair but thinner than the plastic ones and look much better.

The other issue is that of the rubber band tracks needing sagging which Hase have tried to compensate for by putting small lugs on the track topside to provide this sagging. I’d prefer to have this done by the same method as I used for the KV2s ie piano wire shoved through the tracks on top. The brass Zimmerit may prove an issue in doing this.

I’m having to plan the assembly a fair bit to allow for the Zimmerit to ensure I don’t back myself into a corner where I need to trim the brass to get things to fit.

Below are a few shots of where I’m at.

At the moment I’m also compiling a list of kits etc to sell so that’s eating into my bench time as everything needs checking including possible prices.

And lastly some fungi.
