I believe I may have corrected any minor glitches that y'all pointed out?
Anyhow, I decided to keep the 20mm, at least on this "as built" version, but I replaced the twin 40mm Hazemaeyer with the Quad 40mm. The fore and aft wires are still on because, as stated, this is the "as built". I figure they would probably disappear quite quickly when they went into action, and from then on were not used.
OK, anything glaring I may have missed? Because, if not, I'm going to start on the earlier 6" armed version that this was based on. Yeah, I know, I'm kinda doing that backwards.
