Just a small little scene..I wasn’t really sure where to put this post on the site so moderators please feel free to move it accordingly

this is by far the smallest piece of artillery that I’ve ever tried PE on..but giving it a go

Ooooh, it’s the gun out of the Airfix German soldiers pack from when I was a nipper......
Its a nice kit as I remember. I built one as part of a Dragon Skdfz 250/11 when I first got back into modelling. Looks like you’re cracking on well Joe.

Hi Joe
It's either gonna give you eye strain ;) Is that cutting mat marked in cms or inches? Looks as if you're off to a good start anyway.

Nice work Joe. Well worth the hassle with the PE. Hope it all holds together during the painting process

John, welcome to sit up front as close as possible, I may need to wear double magnifiers to see the rest of the PE.. it is pretty micro

Tim if you have some pics, I’d love to see them of the gun on the 250

Jim I think I am well beyond eye strain at the moment...lol... may need to ask for an emergency appointment after this one to see the eye doc, ya know I never really paid attention to that cutting mat..lol will have to check on that per that question.

Steve, crossing my fingers that it all stays together even before painting

Ok, I’ll dig out what I’ve got later on. I might have shots of the gun as well, I remember one in the Pegasus bridge museum in Normandy.

He was like the guy in the picture above, except his legs were either side of the trail.

Joe, that's a mighty big pea shooter with bling. Not very often scene in war doc videos. Wondered if they were ever used in the Bocage ambushes by Fallschirmjagers units. I'm guessing you'll be posing your vignette in the Eastern front.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Joe, looking at the gun, it reminds me of a Boys anti-tank gun or the Russian anti-tank guns but a larger calibre. Wondered how thick an amour platting it can penetrate. Could it stop a T-34 or at least a BT-1?

Cheers,
Richard
