Trumpeter ML-20 152mm & ChTZ-65 Tractor

[tommy1drop]

I must be a sucker for punishment as I`m going to build these two along with the Sfh 18 10.5cm and the Sdkfz 7 for the SIG, Sorry for the poor quality of the pics.

Made a start on this one, built the wheels and carriage for the gun, everything went together with no problems:rolleyes:, will update when more done

 

[tommy1drop]

Managed to get a little more done on the ML-20 build, most of the gun carriage and towing carriage have been built, as well as the gun breech, not much left to do before paint...hope you like it so far

Nice. Odd the way they have done the barrel with a turned metal mid section and a plastic muzzle.

An interesting piece.

Thanks Ian, you get both versions of barrels in these kits, opted for the metal barrel as it looked better than the plastic one, plus no join lines to contend with, they are nice kits to build.
