I couldn't wait to try one of these turret baskets that have been released by Aber lately. There is one for the Panzer III, Panzer IV, and Tiger I.
So here I will put one together.
a scan of the instruction sheet. pretty clear what to do.
a scan of the raw metal sheet
The main body, front and back of the box. There is also a thin shaped piece that goes on the inside lip.
this part will be foled up first. It's a little tricky and many shaping are required to get it to fit correctly with the front and back pieces. The curved bending required is indicated on the metal with a sort of ribbed thinning along the area needing to be shaped.
one of the challenges of putting these metal kits together is figuring out the best step by step way to go. I decided to make a rough shaping of the curved part of the basket.
next the simple task of folding 90° on fold lines.
