I finished painting the 2 Pdr last night, and mounted it on a stand, probably too big for Command Decision, but there we go.
I was unsure if the 2 Pdr's issued to the BEF in 1940 were camouflaged so went for just a plain drab green. Figures from Airfix spares I had lying around.
Parts used were;- Wheels ex Airfix Bofors Gun.
- Axle ex Bofors Gun.
- Support legs ex Airfix 88mm Gun.
- Shield ex Takeaway container lid plastic.
- Gun ex Airfix 6 Pdr cut down.
- Gun Mount Bracket ex Airfix Recon set from Sd.Kfz 222.
- Tin on inside of Gun Shield ex Matchbox M3 Honey/Stuart.
Probably a little big, but it will do the job I would suspect...hope.
o.k. second try to comment your brilliant work (First time teh program rejected it) I like it very much. It gives me ideas for my own projects. It is always nice to have so many spare parts to create your own modells.
ReplyDeleteHi Mork,
ReplyDeleteYep the spares box is a very important part of any modellers tools. I hardly ever chuck anything away.
Way cool! Crying shame this important piece is only available in resin; not too big for CD, awesome mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers Al, lobby Hat to put this on there to do list! Glad you think its OK size wise.
ReplyDeleteAs good as mine in metal from Skytrex :)

ReplyDeletebrilliant stuff and i agree with one and all regarding the spares box...absolutely invaluable
my understanding is these guns like all BEF in early war were plain green like the tanks and trucks
Cheers Geordie, post a pic of your skytrex gun...still cannot post on your comments window mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers to you too David, and thanks for the info, especially the trucks. I am much closer to finishing now you gave me that info.
ReplyDeleteKeep on posting!
