After much effort, including installing the gun deck backwards, completed the Dragon 54cm Morser 'Loki'. Not entirely sure I am finished with weathering and such and am open to ideas. Other than builder error, it was enjoyable to build. Only complaint is the poor quality decals provided which came apart while applying. The build is out of the box with the exception of the tarp coving the muzzle. Enjoy!

Hi Vic nice build so far ,but did you forget the tray at the rear of the gun to help load those heavy shells? I'd throw on a flat coat and maybe a bit more weathering. All in all a good job!

Thanks RIck... No I didn't forget it, just didn't put it in the pictures. Actually, I still need to finish the shell that Dragon provides also. I kinda had the feeling that it needed more wear on it. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it is 1:35th. Only figure that Dragon provided was a driver. I will look through my stash and see if i can come u p with some more appropriate figures. Thanks for the idea.

Hey nice job on this big SOB. Are you going to put this in a dio?

btw-Dragon makes a figure set for this kit. It includes six figures-I think-I will try to find the number for you when I get home.

Wasn't thinking of a dio but may reconsider after I finish my Pak 40 dio. Haven't gotten into dios before this but I'll see what happens. Would appreciate the info on the figures. Thanks.

Adding figures will really bring out the size of this thing. Liven it up a bit too. Splendid job.

I hope to build one just like this someday too.
