Good job! The weathering on the gun is nice. Is that a Pak 40 by Tamiya. I have the same one but i haven’t started that. Your troops have a nice paint job and your brickwall looks good; however it could have been weathered. If a walls destroyed it should have better weathering. Other then that great job!

All up a great little especially the camo pattern , But just one little thing the soldier under the pak muzzle he would’nt go under it or in front during a battle. Except for that great work.

very nice
what i like about that battle is the russians put evrything they had into it so that if you modeled their side you could use many pcs of american or even some brit armor

Good job,

I have the same Panzer Abwehr Kanone (PAK). Since my great-grandpa fought in Russia as a wehrmacht soldier and he was captured as a POW. With my Pak I bought 4 soldiers from Squadron. Now I am building a diorama just like you.

Overall, I like the look and feel of this one. My only comments are that a) You wouldn’t find troops under the barrel of a ready to fire cannon of any size, b) the uniforms are a bit shiny, and c) There doesn’t seem to be any weight on the PAKs wheels. For a small gun, those suckers are heavy!

Wow! this thread resurfaced after almost four years. modelbuilder12 you drilled down so deep to find this thread. Now that you’re building a dio using a PAK, I have another dio using the same PAK but with higher quality from Dragon. It comes with metal rounds that need no paintings. They look real, you might want to use some:

If you need more pics or info about this dio, please try this page (it’s also from the year 2005 same as this thread):

666Irish, thanks for your comments. I agree with most of them.
