Lee,
Sorry late to the party. Your off to a great start mate and I will follow along.

Looks very good Lee. Generally when hard mounting AA weapons, leveling provisions are made to facilitate traverse. The 2cm is prolly light enough to not require this.

I think my base coat will be flat charcoal grey my go to primer then Gray with a hint of 4OD but don’t let JR know that he’ll take the credit for the idea lol

I was just going to suggest that !

Paul. I figured it was light enough the did use a sled all the time for this one

I knew if we mentioned 4OD on this thread you would find it you have a Nose for it like a Bloodhound lol.

[Lee Drennen]

Here’s a small update that I’ve got done so far. Now for the paint.

[Tim Marlow]

Loving that Lee. Very interesting build.

[JR]

Lovely Lee, and good to see you building military again. Like the figures esp .

[Lee Drennen]

Tim. Thanks now comes the detail painting and weathering.

John. Thanks for stopping by again. I’m really wanting to finish this particular build so I’m slowly chipping away at it. I’m not happy with the gun barrel. I might try to change that out with a piece of brass tubing but I don’t know if my Eyes, Hands, and nerves can handle that kinda pressure. Lol.

[Tim Marlow]

If you drill out the end it will lift the barrel Lee. Failing that, just paint the end black….it will improve the appearance.
