1/32 Custom 251/22
Well, here's one of the things I've been working on. I really should be posting pics of everything.
This thing started off as a nightmare! Really thick paint was globed on and 21st's 1/32 pak40 was awful. Who even makes a pak in the recoiled position, other than 21st?
It's not great, but an improvement from what I started with! The pak was rebuilt, new shield made for it, new support for the Pak40, interior was redone, ect. Just some minor things to improve it. However, I didn't manage to build that thing that's supposed to be on the right side of the shield, what is it?

Re: 1/32 Custom 251/22
Being thouroughly familiar with this subject, you did a great job. The travel lock, the notches on the pak 40 shield and late variant flat viewports and single piece engine hatch are nice details.
It is a demolition charge used to destroy the gun in case it had to be abandoned. Probably wouldn't have been installed anyway.
Are you referring to the vertical tube on the inside of the shield?I didn't manage to build that thing that's supposed to be on the right side of the shield, what is it?
