Op's after looking at the pic's on the walk around when i got home i see i did'nt need to put it the side walls, o well wont take much to remove them.

Can any one tell me iff someone makes 1/35 shells for this thing !!!.

Hey John, glad you posted your build mate

I've seen AFV club 155mm howitzer shells .. the box has 205mm(?) in it as well i think. .. worth a look anyway.

some reference piccies for you if they'll help.......

Shell base, lower half of shell and full shell in rack.

Great start John and i'm glad you decided to post the build thread

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the ref pic's Colin, & thanks all for ur kind comments.

Lets not all get to carred away with the amount of detail thats going into this one, it's a 1/35 not a 1/24, my eyesight can only take so much.

I think most of the work will be in the body of the tank & not in the turret, but i will try to build the breach block.

Thanks again

John

Ok decided to pick this one up from where i left off. had a look at a walkaround & there is no door leading from rear to driving compartment so did a little re-work & started to add ods & sods.

What i could do with is a good pic of the breach so i can try & make it, the pics i have only show the end of it.

[Guest]

I`m liking this a lot.

Thinking of getting my M109A2 off the shelf and doing some more to it. I`m adding an interior to it, although I`m cheating a bit as I have a resin turret interior for it but the hull needs to be scratched 9only just started the scratch work)

Great work.

Malc.

 

[Guest]

Look forward to seeing it Malcolm.
