nheather Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Does anyone have an Academy or Airfix 1:35 Stuart that they have not built yet? If so wonder if you can help me. I seem to have mislaid the breech block to the main gun - it is part B40 on my kit - Academy M3 Stuart Honey. It looks pretty simple to create a replacement but I could do with the dimensions. Any photos would be a bonus too. Thanks for any help you can give. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fairly simple shape but even so do I start with a single lump of plastic and carve or would it be easier it build it up from several parts. Thinking it would be best vertically sandwiching three pieces of plastic. Not worried about it being super accurate, the kit interior isn’t that accurate anyway and I doubt it would be barely visible. I may even build it buttoned up and dispense with interior altogether.

PF Naughton Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Hi, I suspect that layering three pieces might not be a bad idea. Here are the images that I took for reference, though they aren't necessarily all that clear. Best of luck.
