Hanomag 3.7 gun question

Post by Aracula » Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:35 pm

This is the 3.7 gun I have been working on for the Hanomag, and was wondering what people thought about it, and the way it is fitting. I am thinking it may be a bit to high up, and was curious to see what others think about it.

You need to move it back a little and make the bottom of the shield even with the window frame .

It looks like you need to raise it a little and make a splash to cover the area under the shield.

It looks like it might be a little too tall, when i look at it compared tonthe picture of the real thing. Could you give us a shot with a figure by it for some perspective and comparison.

Thanks guys for the input, it looks off to me is why I was asking, I wanted to get it right before molding, so it could be reproduced easy enough over and over. I will take a few more pics, and tweak it to get it right before I mold it out, thanks again. All suggestions is appreciated.

I am re-scaling it a bit and will post some more pics soon, I am also close to molding the Stug conversion kit for a Mark IV tank bottom, sorry for the delay but had to get a car done and sold so got me behind on this project.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
