gun looks a bit too big for its mount & the vehicle - otherwise great .....

wouldn't get me in that dustbin commanders position unless it had some serious extra armour-plate around it !

Thank You All for the support!
Here it is painted.














I have decided that I no longer like the tracks,
they are from an old mold and it's "about time" I made a new master.
So Thats what I did today......
They are in the rubber now,
and when that are done,
I will post a new set of pic's for you all to compare. :)

Uh-oh! :o

Is that just an unintended camera effect or is the barrel curving down a little? ???

It does appear, it seems to be suffering from a case of Brewer's Droop!

There is a "very" slight droop in the gun......
and for some reason the camera causes it to multiply.

I would heat it to straighten it out....... put it's already painted. :(

Well.....I found the tracks to be disappointing......
and thus had decided to make new masters and molds for them.

In my post of the build of this beast,
it was obvious that there was a noticeable "droop" in the gun barrel.......





This was a problem in the master.....
so..... I cut the mantlet from the barrel.....
drilled it out (about 1/8 " deep).....
cut 1/8" from the rear end of the barrel....
and glued them back together.



while this "shortened" the gun,
it still allowed it to keep a "respectable" length.
the best thing is that it cured the droop.

So what scale is this model?  I can see some possible uses for that pepper pot muzzle brake and gun tube, but that would depend on the physical size of the thing  :)

I really like the new and improved gun!

Still looks menacing, too.

Looking good Ken. Great job with reworking the track runs too, time well spent.

I may be wrong, but I think it is 1/48.

Gents, Kens stuff (including this) is 1/72nd. Having said that that's a big barrel and muzzle brake so could easily be used for other things. I also think if asked nicely Ken may supply them separate for whiffing if asked very nicely .......  now I'll probably be shot for speaking that suggestion  :icon_ninja:
