Looks good Tom! Does the gun slide in the cradle as you have it here?

Way to go Tom! Whip this boy into submission.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That looks really good, Tom! 
I hope you're feeling better today!

Feeling a little better. Chest muscles hurts like hell from the sneezing.
Here's a dilemma I'm facing now. See Part B9? Red circle is suppose to be there. It's not.
Another view in Step 11, with part installed to "ghost" link
B9 with parts B63 and B7 / B5 assembled part...
Backside of B9...
What B9 is suppose to look like on sprue according to instruction guide
B9 has no breaks at all. I sanded off minor flash on curve.
At first, I thought, OK... I must've nipped it off. Nope. I looked in my trash bin and cut up sprue jar for later disposal. Not in either.
Now tell me this is a defective part mold or am I imagining things.
I'm at a loss of words on what to do next.

Looks like a chunk of the part is missing.

Re: German 8.8 CM Flak 18 Anti-Aircraft Gun
Tom, is the part deformed? short shot? I see what Carlos is seeing here on the leading edge. Is there a way to repair or rework this to make it work? I could see using some Milliput to create a smooth edge, perhaps?
Make more models!

My thoughts exactly. When I looked, I knew I was seeing a WTF???
