Omar: in your diorama set up, it appears you don't have 7.5cm Pak 40 ammo rounds. Google "AFV Club Pak 40 ammo"

Hi Omar, Nice job so far! I love Pak 40s! That AFV kit looks pretty good; how did you like it? I also like the two slackers sitting down by the fuel drum!

Great little scene Omar! Thanks for posting. May I make 3 suggestions?

1) ammo rounds would not be laid on the bare ground like that -- ammo would be taken out of storage tubes/boxes, wiped down and laid down on canvas, tarpulins, tent shelters -- to keep the dirt off the cartridge.

2) the round leaning upright on the right trail leg would easily fall over. It would be lying on the tarp as well.

3) In general, artillery crew did not wear web gear. It can snag onto the moving parts of the firing gun. They usually only had the waist belt but no suspenders.

Safety habits for all artillerymen. Hope this helps

Thank you for your coments Roy, you see that is not my artillery. The good news is that with modeling, you learn something every day. I'll keep in mind for a future.-
