Well, here it is. I finally finished this kit after four and a half months of off-and-on building (it's hard to get bench time with two toddlers competing for attention). Thanks to everyone who helped me out during the build with research and pointers! I have now mounted the kit onto its base and I'll deliver it to my friend, whose howitzer this represents, in the coming weeks.





















You may notice the pictures are a bit different this go-around. That's because I started playing around with the manual settings on my camera and shot in RAW format instead of JPEG for the first time. It was a learning experience (and not in a good way--I will not be making photography my second hobby!).

I hope you like it! Let me know what you think either way!

Lucas;
superb job, looks awesome.

Great job, love the camo!

Thanks, guys!

Hi Lucas,

What a nice build!
Every artillery guy will envy your friend, for sure!

Another one coming?



P.

Lucas-- as a former member of 3/3 CAV, I salute your fine effort. Great workmanship.
Thanks for sharing

That's the nicest example of that scheme I've seen in quite some time. Nicely done!

Great job Lucas! Congrats!

Is it OOB?

Cheers!

Awesome job. One of my favorite color schemes! I had my 1:1 scale M151 in this scheme back when I drove it to high school.

I fully agree!! Perfect rendering indeed!!

Congratulations Sir!! Really impressive!!

Cheers

Romain

Thanks, guys!

Marco--it is mostly OOB, although I did use the AFV Club indy link tracks, replaced the grab handles with wire, and added resin stowage and a camo net. I wrote a build log, which you can find here:

DJ--I didn't know you were in 3/3 Cav. When was that? I'll have to tell my friend.

Thanks Lucas! I'll see, for sure!

Cheers!

Marco
