Looking really good Igor, it just keeps getting better, fantastic little details.

Thank you Jaffro

I continue to replenish the fighting compartment.
Assembled quick drawing box for APCBC rounds.
APCBC - Armor-Piercing Capped Ballistic Cap.
The cap gave more velocity and piercing power to the shell and crumpled on impact.
You can see its markings on casing.
An interesting box with pipes for each round.
My advice - to glue bottom of box with pipes to box itself in last step.
Strange, unexpected error - the diameter of casing cap is a bit larger than the diameter of pipe, it must be inserted to, so i was in need to correct it.











And the box placed inside

Great work Igor

Igor looking good i put the shells in the other way up than shown in the instructions as they are in a better way to load into the gun.

I also thought how can they draw from the tip, but didn't find any reference pictures.
Your solution makes sense and this way they were holding on casing cap and maybe that's why the diameter is bigger... Well, I already trimed the caps, so will leave it as it is.
Thanks anyway
