hi all, well this is my first post so i thought i would keep a running commentry on my newly aquired AT piece and try to include some pics along the way. I a very new to ground based modeling and have built only aircraft in the past, most of which are petrol powered flying ones so any critisism or help will be greatly appreciated by those more knowledgeable ( all of you). If anyone knows were i could get hold of m118 or m119 hamel gun models that would be fantastic as i am trying to reproduce a large scale fsb diorama for my old units 1ooth ann 4th fd regt RAA.


cheers to you all.

Welcome aboard Tim. I built the old VP Pak 43/41 -- and really enjoyed it. I'm sure the AFV Club one is something else.

Keep us posted. RC

Hi,

can't help you with the m118 or m119 but I have built the AFV pak 43/41.... Nice kit and a challenging build. Hardest part was the metal gun sheilds with the plastic bolts.... save your self some frustration and get the metal bolts...
