Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya M40 155mm Self Propelled Gun

[Mr Bowcat]

Got the gun finished today, it was a kit in itself!

The barrel/slide, breach and armour aren't attached yet so these can all be painted separately.

Don't know how I've missed this one Bob, some very nice work and it's looking like a very impressive kit.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Ian.

So far it's gone together beautifully. Quite well thought out with a lot of EPM's hidden by other panels.

It’s a Tamiya kit, did you expect anything else than it going together well?

Bob,
The great work continues.

There is some nice detailing on the kit Bob. That gun section must have tested your nerves a bit. It certainly looks the DB's now that section is complete. A very fine and tidy build. Great stuff:thumb2::thumb2:

Great looking model Bob. Seems at least as good as the AFV Club one.
Bring on the crew.
Jon.

Cheers guys.

The gun wasn't too bad, it was a lot of smaller parts built up then added in chunks to the main section. I did spend most of yesterday putting it together though.

Tonight's task: Wheels, all 24 of the little buggers.

Always thought the little extension on the rear platform was very cool. Your gun came out great. Thought the winch was for the recoil spade but never determined how the rear platform was raised/lowered. Looking forward to your progress. PaulE

Cheers guys.

As far as I know, it just rests on the spade.
