I replaced the center section of the tube, up to the bipod locking collar with some .080" diameter Evergreen styrene round stock.

I had to cut the ball mount off of the kit's tube and glue it on to the bottom of the round stock, and I also had to replace the ball cap at the base of the tube with a strip of thin brass sheet. There were also a few bolt and rivet heads added where appropriate. I also replaced the traversing wheel's handle with a thin piece of wire as the kit part had broken off. Upon completion of this kit, I found that there were a total of 11 parts added or replaced just to the mortar and bipod. No small feat as this model kit stands approximately 3/4" tall.

The M1 Garand is a Hornet product. This is beautifully cast in white metal and I don't recall having to do any part clean-up to it at all other than a very light, fine sanding. It was just a beautifully made item, and to this, I added the rifle sling and mounting 'hardware'.

The SCR-536/BC611 "Walkie-Talkie" is scratch-builtout of styrene and this consisted of 15 parts. I was not able to obtain any actual dimensions to this, so I estimated it's size.

The rolled tarp is from Ordnance Models and is cast in resin. The canvas detail to this is very nicely done, however, you will lose some of that detail in cleaning up the parting lines but, those lines are in appropriate locations and are easily hidden from view.
