M12 155mm

(y) That's a nice kit! love the work you do on adding the welds and textures (y)
About those welds on the upper hull, maybe if you sand them down a little with fine wet sandpaper, weldbeads are mostly pretty flat (if you are a good welder! :D ).
Looking forward to see your next pics :drinks

Excellent! I am glad Ken put up Built2Scale again... after all, many of those are my photos (this is from before I added my copyright notice though so they need to be updated).

Here they are again with my copyright along with some which aren't uploaded on Built2Scale. By the way, Ken had my permission to use my photographs:

Regards,
 
Notice the fade on the star, I've done that by accident on something, can't remember what. But wonder if I could do it on purpose.
 
Thanks Saul! :notworthy

MP ever noticed that when you don't want it to happen it does, and when you try to make it happen you can't? :idonno
 
Did a little more to it today

Added some detail to the airfilter housings

It is just as easy for me to make the handles out of wire as it is to clean up the plastic ones

I marked the upper hull for the missing bolts, still not sure if I'm going to add them
