What the hey!
Since you are already in a figure painting mode, might as well knock these out also! Looking good Lee.
Cheers, Rick H.

Hi Lee - Zvezda do some nice little kits and they can look good with some careful clean up and painting

Not bad out the box but they also have scope for reworking if one is so inclined - I did this one last year for a GB but as usual I totally rebuilt it and added three hundred parts in the process

Looks like you are off to a good start

These Zvezda kits are really nice. I’ve got a full battery of 2-pounder antitank guns (awaiting paint …) and was very impressed with them.

Rick. Thought I would see what I could do with the little scale figures. Thanks for looking in

Simon. Thanks for the compliment. I plain on drilling out the gun barrel with my eyesight and arthritis in my hands that’s just about all I can do just to get these 1/72 kits together. I would liked to seen yours I’m sure it was off the grid. Thanks for dropping by hope to get this guy done soon


Jakko. Thanks for stopping by I was very impressed with these kits I’m hooked now have two more in the stash and a few more on the way

Hi Lee
Interesting subject. 1/72 scale figures are really frustrating but yours are looking good. The gun looks a nice little kit.

Jim. Thanks it’s a very nice kit and a fast turnaround easy to build too. They clean up well and there not “chunky” like some of the older types glad you stopped by.

Nice work Lee. Did the ammo and ammo baskets come in the kit as well??

Steve thanks for the complement and no they didn’t and I was kinda bummed about that too. I’m going to try to find some

Work some more on this addicting kit I got started and just couldn’t stop. I drilled out the gun barrel and finished painting the figures and gave it a light weathering. The kit is done and has moved to completed. Thanks for the support and complements it was fun. Enjoy the pics.View attachment 324143View attachment 324144View attachment 324145View attachment 324146View attachment 324147View attachment 324148View attachment 324150View attachment 324151
