Usualy I build modern stuff. But sometimes I like to do something from WWII, especially Allied. So I've decided to do this quite old kit. The build itself wasn't so terrible as it could be expected. I've done some modifications on the basis of pictures of real stuff:







I wanted to do this veihicle in Europe 44' painting, but I didn't finy any good references. So here is the desert version:











Hope you like it. I treated this model as a "Fun kit"

Nice work! I did this one a few years back its pretty good considering how horrible a lot of airfix's small scale military kits can be. STAY AWAY from the 5.5inch gun and Matador truck, the only kit I ever bought I would describe as unbuildable!
I've subscribed to this this, I'll be eager to see it finished. Where did you get the PE Bofors sights from?

This parts are from a different model. I didin't use them, so I've put them away hoping, that some day they'll be useful.
