Thanks Rick…yeah ther unusual nature attracted me! I think only three were ever made.

Thanks John. No not stupid, a more skilled modeller than myself could easily get them moving, but they are just box joints (currently propped up on paint bottles or held up with blue tack). I can’t decide whether I want them up or down!

Thanks Richard. Fictional for this vehicle, but I just had a hankering to paint it that way.

This is how the manufacturer tempts you to buy a second kit

Wow Guys, really great stuff getting built here. I've been off the forum for a bit, but have tried to keep busy at the table. I have been doing a lot of scratchy behind the scenes. Mostly making brake systems for a trailer and a flatcar along with other mods too,



And the flatcar brake system was real fun to do too,



If I didn't have to cement the brake shoe triangle pieces, the whole system would work like the real thing.....Keep up the good work!!!

Excellent stuff. Love the brake gear, especially the cranks around the bow strings. I thought they were backwards to start with, then realised that they are air braked, not vacuum braked as on UK stuff. The pistons therefore move the “other way” to ours LOL :thumb2:

Originally designed with 8.8cm Flak 41 in mind. There are pictures of it in use for evaluation both with old 88 & newer one.

Jack, that is very nice indeed the paint job is excellent.

Cracking stuff Allen. On the bench just now with blocks and eyepins and they past the test so 78 and a 118 to go.

Time consuming but like all scratches interesting at the beginning.

Cheers,
Richard

I mean passed the test...:confounded:

Tim - Thanks Sir, the trailer brakes were mechanical with a spring loaded arm to actuate the brake drums. The other was air powered, but you knew that...

Neil - Great to see you Sir. No, I'm still using the ancient iPad and cropping the pics to post. Hope you well and not working too hard at the job...

Paul - Thanks Bro, I am getting back to the basics and not get lost down a rabbit hole with all the support equipment...

Richard - Thanks too Buddy, I can only wish you good luck with making all those thigimajigs. If you finish them all, I promise to come and visit you in the rubber room at the ward....

Prost
