Hey folks,
I'm just puting the finishing touches on a 1/72 LecLerc T.5 by Revell Germany and I need some clarification on a detail about this beast.
My question circles around the machine gun mounted near the commander's hatch.
How frequently is this gun mounted on the LecLerc?
I've done a thorough scrubbing of the net for pictures and there seems to be a 50/50 split of pictures with and without this gun. The gun in the kit looks generally accurate, but is frighteningly fragile and I don't think would stand up well to even a light bumping.
I've just put a lot of scratchbuilding and bashing effort into an aircraft project, so I really don't feel like modifying the gun to strengthen it or scratchbuilding a replacement.
Will my LecLerc be just as accurate if I leave that gun off rather than installing it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
