Excellent build. I really like the tone of the green color, which I always struggle to get right.
Well done

Looks great, but the gun is not in travel mode. The breach would be down and back and hooked to the rod coming from the end of the gun trails. Might want to go back and look at the instructions, they do show it in proper travel position.
Can you share more about the muzzle break as it looks like it's from 152mm gun on backwards and sideways.....
Are you sure it's not the ML-20 152mm gun opposed to the 122 in the banner.

Correct on all counts! I will fix the muzzle brake, but I'm afraid this delicate gun is staying in its position ad infinitum. I'll pay more attention on the next one; the instructions aren't clear how that bar is connected, unfortunately. Thanks for pointing this out!

You are correct, it is very fragile.

It looks really nice, especially since you didn't overdo the weathering. I certainly do have a thing for those tractors and yours looks just the part! Thanks for showing!
