Sven,

Very nice! My only pick is that I believe (I don't know for sure) that the .50 cal should be aligned exactly with the main gun... Very well done

Thanks Thomas!!!

I believe you are right about the .50 Thomas... On all the
reference pics I have on the Merk III it's pointing in line with
the barrel so I will give it a little twist so it is correctly aligned.

Thanks for your comments!!!

Regards

Wow! really nice work. How does the kit stack up? I'm expanding into 1/72 and if its a good kit I'd like to add it to my stash.

Yes, I believe it's a very good kit indeed. Goes together well
and the details are excellent so I recommend that you get a
few and add them to your stash.

Even in 1/35 this would be a great job. Excellent I didn't even know it was 1/72 at first.

Thank You Jesper !!!

I'm so glad you appreciate it

I'm not a big fan of complicated dioramas, I like to do simple
and relaxed pieces where the viewer doesn't get confused
and unsure of what the builder want's to show...

Thanks for your nice comments and best regards!!!
