Belgian Leo Turret

I've now moved onto the turret and first up was a coating of Mr surfacer which once cured was lightly sanded to even any texture out. The mantlet was also treated the same way and the result is 100% better than the heavily textured original finish. The canvas cover also fits very well although the gun is therefore fixed in one position. However it should not be too difficult to adjust the angle of the mantlet and gun if you so wished.

The kit smoke dischargers look way over scale to me so after a rummage through the spares box I found some resin ones that look much better. The kit mounting rail was cleaned up and adapted and the dischargers fitted. Again a vast improvement on a very noticeable feature of the turret.
