An interesting build I will tag along.

Well,I`ve tidied up the seam lines and sink marks as well as i could see,gave the sub assemblies a dash of OG,and then put the 3 main elements together.All that`s left off are the front towing "H frame",the sighting array and the ammo in the guide,these will be added once the weathering is complete,not that there`ll be loads of it.
A few pics..............



So there you go,i think it`s a pretty good kit,and it certainly serves my purposes.:smiling:
It`s being put to one side now while i break open and build up the next piece of the jigsaw.......... The Bedford!!!!!............(but mine`ll be British!)

Watch this space..................... T.B.C............

Nice tidy work Andy...looks like a nice kit :thumb2:
Ive built a few Italeri kits and nver been disappointed.

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see the gun all cleaned up and painted. Looking forward to seeing the Bedford as well. You are spoiling us.

Andy,
Sorry mate call it a blond moment still a cracking build though.

I hope the gun's tyres aren't going to stay green!

I had the same idea Andy and have the same kit, the Bedford though is also an Italeri kit. Howzat!!! Anyway it'll be a long time before I get to do a dio with so many projects on the go. I haven't compared the Bofors with the Hobbyboss kit that's mounted on a GMC. I think Scotties built that one.

Looking good so far now waiting for your Bedford.

Cheers,
Richard

Evenin` Guys,
Well,as part of my current Dio i need a 60" Search light..... and i can`t find a kit of one:disappointed2:!
SOOOOOO,I`m going to try and turn THIS.....

Into,THIS........

Now,i still need to source a couple of donors for a few things,but in general i have enough to start my attempt.
I`m working off pics from the pc,so measurements are just my calculations,however i`m quite confident they`re fairly accurate!!:rolling:
It should be fun,however,my mate Cohan,(who usually sits on the back of the settee and watches,whilst i`m modelling away),is having none of it......

Oh Ye of little faith...... mind you,he`s probably right!!
This should be fun,there are a few bits that i have no idea how i`m gonna re create yet!!:flushed:
Thanks for looking in,any abuse always welcomed chaps!!
Andy,(and a sulking Cohan!!)

Andy,
Sounds like a great project. Chair pulled up at the front

[The Smythe Meister]

Welcome along Scottie!!
Nice to have some support during my personal "Mission Too Far"!!
Andy

[Neil Merryweather]

looks like fun.
I'm in

[Mini Me]

Cohan....doesn't he run the pub down on the corner? No, my mistake, that's Behan's Irish pub.........Sorry sometimes I get my hans mixed up, don't know left from right. :rolling: This should be fun to follow I have a search light in the stash, so am interested to see how your scratchery progresses. Thanks fer putting up with me. Rick H.

[Steve Jones]

This is going to be awesome. A fantastic idea for a scratch build. I wish you all the best my friend
