I found a three other minor things that need to be added in addition to fixing these. Once I started looking I couldn't stop. It's all on the legs and the breech had a minor blip that I saw and just fixed as I went along.

OK Bob, you know I have to fix things that are just WRONG. I just HAD to find "something" to fix and here it is. Ta-da I will remove these two handles and rework them off the model. Have been way under the weather the last couple of days and stayed home from work today. Slept till 3...

Yes the fit on my Pak 40 was overall good. There were a number of minor things where I needed to adjust parts to make them fit "better". Also this plastic is soft, so the WeldOn 3 I use can be quite aggressive if I overdo the application. One place where things were too tight were the pivots...

I have had it for 15ish years along with several other interesting pop cans. As they are kind of universal, it helps to convey sizes of stuff. I know the Panzer hull did it for you. Yeah, only just realized just how big it actually is when I assembled all the parts for this photo. It is...

Looks like I will have to fire up my lathe for those when I get there. Looking good Tim!

Superb build Paddy! You should be proud of how it is turning out. Can hardly wait to see the finished build.

Looking good! :good:

One of my old set piece cans. Can't really drink the stuff with fructose anymore. It does weird things to me, but the old can is a good "different" set piece for sizing.

Here are a couple of photos for size comparisons. As I have the Stug III and Panzer III that @Tim A. is building I included a hull for sizing. The SdKfz 251 is longer than Tim's Panzer III, so this will end up being a BIG dio when done. Loving the detail on the Pak 40. I have only done a...

According to Epoch Times: One of the best options would be to use a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb, known as the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator. The B-2, which is operated exclusively by the United States, is the only aircraft equipped to carry and deploy such a bomb. That amounts to...

Positionable not working. It has a lot of detail though and makes for an interesting build.

OK, finally time for an update. I've been building and taking a few photos along the way. Been enjoying the build so far, and now it is getting into the challenging part, THE PAINT. Always a challenge to make the paint look "proper" so I will probably be doing some experiments here. Anyway...

The problem isn't the size I believe, it is the material that it is made out of. Soft lead based castings are not the same strength as brass, bronze, or steel.

This build is looking really good Paddy. Shame it is so delicate that it can damage itself.

lol! I will determine that once I get there. Have the shield assembled on the Pak 40. The front lower corners are actually welded up. Doing something new to try and replicate that. Turns out I was trying to overdo it, so a little more smoothing. Then photo time (have been taking pics...
