About the gunsight, you're right too, but I really think it's such a nice looking piece, and I didn't know, how the sight is mounted, and then how it would look without. In real life it was probably transported in some kind of a stowragebox. The tompion is my own design. I know how these usually looked, but I wanted it to represent more of a "makeshift thingie", because the crew had lost the original.
I have not seen that sort of muzzel tompion, either, with most of the gun photos showing a canvas cover (I'm sure Frenchy will now swoop down and put up dozens of photos proving me wrong!
I'm assuming the FH 18 is by Trumpeter. I recently built one. A great little kit. However, the painting instructions are wrong. The bars it shows being painted red and whit are incorret. It is actually supposed to be the bars under the one it shows being painted red and white that are supposed to be red and white. A very good looking build, though. The was you used turned out really well.
Campaigns AdministratorI really thought about making slings on those rifles, but then thought,nah, I just have to finnish this project, and who'll notice!

Campaigns AdministratorAlan: What excactly are these red and white poles for? I'm not really into artillery, but I could imagine they're for some sort of direction poles, or am I totally wrong?
LOL!
