Again another scatchbuild using balsa wood. The base can take either a AA gun or a ex Naval gun type.
Here with a 40mm Bofors. In NZ these mounts usually had a 3.7 "AA Gun, but when was the last time you saw this fantastic weapon in plastic...Never I bet.
The poster paint is a bit thin on the base, and I have since given another coat.
4, 5 or 6"Gun, hash build from Airfix 88 Flak and ESCI M12 Howitzer.
This type was usually mounted on the top of terrain features giving the weapon an unrestricted arc.
Model on!
Nice work!

ReplyDeleteThat coastal artillery emplacement and gun looks fantastic. It's going to ruin the day of a few landing craft in your Invasion 1942 campaign.
ReplyDeletevery nice my friend.

ReplyDeletePerhaps leave the back bit of balsa off to allow egress?
I am glad it looks like a Naval type weapon Fran, Cheers.
