Time to fix some minor details: 1) the warning sign - fun enough there are self adhesive right type of letters to buy on the net and the yellow spray in a an ordinry car parts dealer 2) Sabre barrel holder - a bit harder to find -
Obitwo started following SWOP SCIMITAR to SABRE barrel holder and CVR(T) 65216 Down under

Yeah, I guess those wire nets were local workshop initiatives so no need to do to get "originality" in your resto. Cool you got hold of a gun -Mine is actually only a pipe - easy to get hold of and without any legal implications -I would have needed to get a license for it otherwise. -

Hi, I think I know what you mean, I have a wire net over the louvers on my other, pure UK Sabre's hatches but, No - not on this one. I used normal white mineral/oil based paint. Axle support bracket were ok. Yes all parts get in and out without removing the turret. It's just about dismantling everything I pieces- work needs anyway since the needed brushing & repaint and new bolts/screws. -

I have a Scimitar barrel holder (for 30mm Rarden) and would like to replace and get a Sabre barrel holder instead. (See pic of the one I offer) BR Richard

With rubber caps on the replica smoke dischargers look the part and the Sabre is starting to look ok. But still lots to do, Turret interiors as well as external boxes upcoming. -

Ahh, and I thought I was uniquely smart :)) Well, One could say that Phenix has many lives. Perhaps it becomes a category number for Belgian converts. Great that you made the film, thanks! -
