There is nothing worse than a droopy barrel. :smiling5: :thumb2: Your attention to detail is outstanding. One of your best my friend

Droopy barrel? Can't think of anything worse, unless the recuperators have failed as well ... :smiling5:

Still trying to get my head round the 'legs' looking at the one that I done years ago, made me wonder if they were shortened when it was being towed - Tamiya seem to have it in the 'firing' configuration with shields down and legs fully extended yet they've put a 'step' in the moulds

Well if this isn't worth a Dog's then I just don't know.
Brilliant work Paul , just gets better with each build you do .

Not to the best of my knowledge. Telescoping legs would be bad for absorbing the gun’s recoil anyway.

Amazing stuff paul , thorough knowledge of the subject and your attention to fine details is unsurpassed , cheers tony

Thanks Steve, will have to cut back on the beer. Glad you like it.

Superb Scottie. A lot of brass in that.

Jim, just a bit mate lol.

All that brass makes it, just superb Paul.

Thanks mate.

Steve, luckily I haven't suffered from that yet lol.

Gerry, not quite sure what you mean but don't think the trail legs can be shortened unless there were different versions maybe for infantry with shorter trails.

Well if this isn't worth a Dog's then I just don't know.

Thanks John that is very kind of you to say.

I tend to agree.

Tony, not so much knowledge but I always try and print off some reference pics if I can.

[Allen Dewire]

Ok Paul, now that you've used up a bottle of CA, tell us what happened to the barrel. Did you use the kits piece or make your own??? Loving it so far and glad my Ray Ban's are polarized too....Drive on Buddy!!!...

Prost

Hi mate no I used the kit one. I was already to far into the build to change it. Hopefully it will look OK when the paint goes on.

Thanks Jakko, I couldn't really see that it'd work unless they were pinned, just that on the kit I've done (just the Pak and crew) the box art had what seemed like 'scaped' sections about halfway down the legs.

[Steve Jones]

The detailing on the left hand arm Gerry is for wrapping the firing rope around



The R/H side are the tool connections as per Scotties model. Tamiya are great kits but do lack detailing especially on their earlier moulds.

[Steve Jones]

the tool connections

..and sighting poles

[scottie3158]

..and sighting poles

Thanks for that Steve. I did wonder if they were sighting poles as this would have been used for direct fire my understanding is sighting poles are used for indirect fire but could be wrong.

Spent a few hours today trying to improve the kit figures, by under cutting pockets and collars etc. I also have some master box figures that I may have my first go at modifying. Also added all the tyre valves to all the wheels.
there are no photos as didn't want to bore you.
