Starting to want this kit even more now! You said that base and the rail ballast comes with it? I was also really admiring those canons under your bench. Do you have a post about those anyplace?
GlennH—I have not posted thows because thay are not models. Thay are made by Denix of Spain. 
Hutch6390–are you going to make the barrole slide back to show recoil the way I did with my 1/72 Hobby Boss & 1/72 Hosagawa ?
No, I don’t think I’m that brave! It’ll be pretty much out of the box, and then put on a simple wooden base. But your build is making me want to get mine started!
She’s coming along beautifully!
Thanks. I checked out their site. Very nice looking reproductions.
I like them because thay are two piece hallow castings. This alowes me to add a caped gas pipe serounded by epoxie inside. And drill the fuse hole. And they fire.
Hi;
I sure did!
very nice. i have one that has been a shelf queen for years but, as i am in the shelf queen GB and alredy knocked out 3 kits, this is my ultimate for this year.
i see we build differently. i have both trucks done and dark yellow. they probably need some touching up, the decals and oil washes. i am so much better at washes and filters than when i started it which is a plus. thanks for the info on the weighted breech.
are you using the plastic track? i will lay my own. it really is not that hard and, with a bit of prep work, takes as long as fixing up the plastic. i did a presentation years ago for one of my model clubs.
Whoa! That track and bed look fantastic. Same with the spikes from what I can see in a small image.
This has been very impressive I’m enjoying it.
yes I used the kit track-shortened to fit space on shelf.
next up–Dragon 1/9 kettenkrad w/ figure.
This kit is simply amazing. I have it in my stash, with the figures. I don’t know if I will ever get to it. It is still available and surprisingly affordable for what you get.
Tualaten Oregon library display until dec. 5th. 
That’s a really cool display! Our club needs to do another library display, it’s been ages since our last one.
Are all the models yours Santa or is this a club thing?
Yes
