For my Christmas Challenge I chose the AFV Club #AF35187 British 40mm Mk-III Bofors Anti-Aircraft gun (late type). As you can see below the carriage and gun are assembled, so it won’t be long, and this well know World War II artillery piece will be ready for primer and paint.
I am also working on an AEC Matador Artillery Tractor to go with the Bofors gun.
Looks cool! Glad to see you still moving forward on this.
Thank you my friend. I am please so far with this Bofors gun, it is a well engineered little kit.
Harold
Looking good, Harold. Will look great under paint!
James
Thank you Mate. The detail is really good in this kit.
I put a coat of primer on the Bofors gun today. Tomorrow I will mask off the wheels in preparation for the finish coat of British S.C.C. 15 dark green.
Harold
That’s a really nice pairing. Looks great.
looks great! So much detail
Looking great.
Thank you Rob, John and G.S. I am done with the Bofors gun for now. Later I will add some weathering and display it with the Matador.
The link below is a pretty good video explanation of the Bofors operation:

Outstanding again, Harold. Display your badge with pride!
Great work!
Thank you James and G.S. It was a fun little model and nicely engineered.
Harold
Magnificent looking model. Might have to invest in one of those.
