You can always get as wacko as I usually am and model it uncovered. Of
course no one will notice the detail in 1/72!

Now I wonder if the Schwarlozes had cloth belts or links. That doubt shall
ruin my morning.

You are too harsh on Ivan Ruchesi.

"I found a couple of photos, that show two big pipes that go into that box,
and a square funnel thing just to the left of the gun."

Please show us the photos. Aren't there two things that exit the gun: the
spent brass shells and the empty cloth belt? (Did they have metal links in
WWI?)
