The support brackets are molded into the machine gun as the point of attachment for installing the part.
A little bit of hollowing out does wonders for this..
Painted gray-green.
Annealing the cooling jackets and rolling them.
Cooling jackets glued on and dryfit both Spandau.
They are lacking the round counters.
Perhaps make some?
I will probably install the interruptor gear as well even though it probably will just be barely visible.
Stretch sprue for correct diameter round counter.
Looks pretty similar to the real thing
Round counter installed
Painting the cockpit edges before closing up. Masking the inside is much easier now than later..
All fits perfectly. Ready to close up.
Closed up, time for Spandau synchronisation gear and then top part of the fuselage goes on.
Interruptor gear stops machine guns from firing when there is a propeller blade in the way by synchronising them to the engine.
Spandau LMG 08/15 x 2 installed with chutes and round counters
