This build is winding down. Below are some pictures of the carriage and gun before mating them. I drilled out the holes for the towing bar and built a T pin to slip into the holes to make the parts moveable.
All in all this has been a nice kit to work on. I will work on mating the parts together today if possible.

It's time to show my finished LeFH 18/40. I will now let you the viewers give me ideas about a simple camo job for the gun.
This is a very nice kit to build. Plenty of care needs to be taken removing parts from the sprues. I broke 3 parts removing parts. I broke two more when I dropped the gun.

Horst, many thanks for your comments. It was a bit strange putting this on line. I hope I'll be able to do another later in the year.
