Rare Earth Magnets

So the three konigstigers came with 6 rare earth magnets.  Rather than divide them up amongst the tanks and using them for holding, I don’t know turrets? in place I used them on my flak38’s which kept coming apart.  (sorry martin I’ll buy some more magnets and replace your share)

Well the theory was sound and after drilling a magnet sized hole in the gun platform and another in the base of the gun mount and gluing them in place they work rather well.  Unfortunately all the handling of the gun during the process knocked off a fair bit of paint and well a couple of them could do with a repaint, a slight problem given I don’t have an airbrush yet to do the camo.  Also there was an issue with the hot stuff super glue and I managed to all but strip one of them men.  So ruined some of my best painted FJ but on the upside the guns now clip in place and don’t fall off at the drop of a  hat.  Hmmmm……

Picture as promised.
