RPM Lorraine Marder I 7.5cm Pak 40/1

Here I go again :dance
Right off the top I wouldn't recommend this kit to a beginner,to much guess work.




I started this this morning only taking out a moment now and then to watch the NASCAR race shutting down at 7:30pm. Not a very easy model to build being from the same molds as Alan, Ark and a few other that have used them under various brand names.

Other than OOP kits there are no others of this SPG available.

I have to watch this one since I have no idea what to expect. It sounded sort of French in the title

That's a face only a mother could love. :laugh: You aren't wasting any time showing it who's boss!

Not very elegant is it.

 

[Tony lee]

Which one do you guys think is the most elegant?



James i'll try my auto putty first and if that doesn't drill well i'll plug em.

Thanks for the comments folks

Hmmm , definitely looks like one had a face lift . Hard to judge with so different colors .

I think the Lorraine has a better shape myself Christian. The Hotchkiss has more room for the crew but reminds me of a huge tub. :hmmm

Cheers

I would have to agree . It is more aesthetically pleasing . I can't even wrap my head as to what the crews had to deal with.

To pick between the two would defile the meaning of the word elegant.

But they do look like they could ruin your day.
