Land / Renwal M51 Skysweeper 75mm Anti-Aircraft Gun
« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on Today at 03:56:52 AM »Another long term project to share with you all.
The ancient Renwal Skysweeper. Built one back in the late sixties and years later I tried to mount it on a Monogram M48 Patton III hull in a feeble attempt to create a what-if SPAAG. No clue on what happened to it all those years ago but I suspect it was thrown away by a sibling or parents while I was in the Army.
I acquired this Skysweeper and a second kit via eBay for a price that made my wallet cry out in pain. Well over $100.00 for each kit B4 tax and shipping fees were added in. That was about two years ago and the prices have only increased since.
Once received, the figures were removed and reassigned to the local landfill.
Attached images show WIP which up until today has been mostly cleaning flash from some of the parts. The most recent efforts resultd in checking fitment of the stabilizer legs, building the radar dish assembly and adding some CA glue to the cavity on the optical tracker.
