Sgtangel Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Hi all Thought you all might be interested in seeing my first instalment of making two DLT-19s from scrap. My main hobby is scale aircraft modelling, so I have been able to use these skills to good effect. Built mainly from PVC plumbing fittings, the breech block is plasticard over a balsa wood core. The rear sight and bipod are from Super6props. I am going to complete one of these as an MG34 first, so I can take it to one of my model club meetings, before converting it to a DLT-19 Edited October 14, 2018 by Sgtangel better photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Nice work, I also scratch built one and it's a lot of fun especially looking for bits you can use from a hardware store, never look at pieces with one use in mind anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgtangel Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Sorry for the lack of updates but I have been waiting for fair weather to use my power sanders . Anyway, here is where we are now. Not happy with the grips I made new ones with corrugated plasticcard First of the DLT specific items Charging handle made from a cheap torch Making the butt plate Top feed covers coming together These make the sides of the receiver (ie the main body) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
