Here's my entry for the campaign: PZInż 302 tractor with Bofors 37mm AT gun.
Tractor is based on Polski (Polish, built on Italian license) FIAT 508/518,
and was used by the Polish Army in september 1939. This is a resin kit
from S-Model and it was my first approach at putting together anything resin.
So far I like it, there is more to clean up than on the injection plastic kits,
but there are considerably fewer parts, so I managed to put the car
and the gun in just two days. I replaced some details with wire and alu foil
and voila: here it is, ready for paint







Comments and criticism are as always welcome

Cheers
Pedro

Thanks for comments Roo and Seb!

Sebastien, the wire around the fenders is there to simulate the tubular stiffening shape around edges of the fenders of the actual car. This detail was very faded on my casting, and in some places not present at all, so I sanded fenders smooth, and replicated the shape with wire.

Cheers
Pedro
