After the debate and suggestions to what I could use to be somewhat correct history wise I had decided to use the sIG33. basically a siege gun used to smash its way into defences.
This will have been over run by a victorious T34/76 .
Starting with the sIG 33.
Yesterday I set too, have to say i've never come across a cleaner moulded kit than this. Flash nil , yes nil . the only cleaning is to remove the cut mark
First thing was to mark up those sprues, i've seen other do this and i've done it once or twice, but normally just start and waste time looking for the correct sprue.
Detail seems very good, sharp and clean.
:smiling3:
Some nice small parts for me to fire around the bench. look at Nos 12 / 14/ 15, some of the channel in is thicker than the part !
Sorry it's on it's side, even using this phone for photos has a learning curve.
Some nice sections of PE, which I managed to capture and for once not flood with CA. Using a small needle and a drop of CA on a piece of board.
Barrel in metal , came with the kit.
Not the easiest instructions, but I never find them easy anyway. A couple of lines denoting where the part might go is no help to me. id rather another drawing for the other side.
The above two photos are of the legs, two parts to each side, gives a meaty look .
That's it for now.
Hope you will grab a seat from Jones Ticket masters, all credit cards accepted.

Looking forward to seeing the T34. Now you cant make that a wreck so go easy on the tracks. When will you start the buildings? This is going to be a mammoth project so I wish you all the best. Tickets are selling well with the offer of a free slice of cake. Good luck comrade.
