Does anyone (or has anyone) make (made) a model of the 2 pounder AT gun in 1/35th scale?
Thanks in advance,

Nothing in plastic. However, Sovereign 2000 did/does make one in resin.

I think it's Tom's Models that makes a Bofors AT gun in plastic as well...

The Sovereign 2000 kit is resin with some white metal parts. Clean up was relatively easy and it is quite well detailed. As with most resin kits the instructions are a bit vague in places.
I will not post a picture of mine as I only used part of the kit in a scratchbuild type model.

The Soverign kit is great (I'm thirding the above votes).
I've built two of them. I actually bought three, but one had a warp issue & I then really screwed it up trying to fix it ....
There are a few "really down in the weeds detail" issues, but nothing that is a killer .... You can, if careful, make the legs moveable so you can position it either way -- although it is really, really fragile.
My biggest complaint is that the ammo ready box isn't open and it is time consuming to open it up and build the interior of it ....

Thanks for the responses! Looks like I will be looking for a source of the Sovereign 2000 kits.
Thanks,

There's almost always one on eBay, from the same dude I bought mine from.
It's a nicely detailed little kit. Here it is almost finished:

Hi
Was speaking to Marc, the owner of Sovereign 2000 last night, he said that Mission Models in California carry his range.
Hope that helps

[quote]Skytrex used to do a white metal one but I don't know if it is still available. It wasn't too bad but the detail was a bit heavy, especially the shield.

I built the Skytrex one, but its so weighty the armitures for the tri-extended legs sag with time to become flat. The detail is very heavy all over , theres a new plastic kit now

I was wondering why nobody mentioned the Vulcan kit, until I remembered to check the dates. Funny what a few years has changed!
