Thanks.
I finally kept the kit's resin part of the Leopold Gun, but had to modify a lot of details on head and engine modules.
OK, go !
After a serious bath, the cleaning stage begins, starting with the head where there are underlying bubbles under the nose. I sand in the material and covered it with a plastic strip. It is much more faster than to proceed like this when there are no details than trying to fill the holes.
Bubbles:

the edge is sanded:

it is covered with evergreen strip:

and sanding to return to the original shape

Then filling of the other bubbles that remained with plastic rods (hedgehog method
)

It lacked a little turret, it is redone. The guns are thin brass rods.
