discussion 1 72 scale scratch built german 15 cm sig 33 dio

[bazers]

HI guys
latest build is a german 15 cm (bison) s p gun .
The full size gun was built using a pz.kpfw,11 ausf .c tank chassis that was made longer and a extra road wheel added, also wider to accommodate the 15 cm infantry gun minus wheels.
Not many were made and most saw service with the Africa corps and were not very good.
I used two model tank kits using the hull wheels and tracks and altered same as full size all the rest of model was scratch built the gun was from a 15 cm sig gun kit , the building was made from foam board and figs are ceaser.

any questions or comments welcome.

Very nice, but why are the dumkopf pumping fuel from the barrel into jerry cans then pouring it into the tank, instead of pumping from the drum into the tank?
Am I picky?
