Hey Mech you're absolutely right and I did put some scratch built lenses on....looks much better now.
.Tigerman I find that hard to believe.
Here's some pics of the lenses,the display base I made for it, and the plaques I won. I also recieved a first place in the diorama category with my M-48 in Vietnam dio...but it doesn't count because it was the ONLY entry in that category!
