Re: Soviet divisional gun on maneuver
what happen with the gun sight on maneuver? Is it covered with canvas or detached from his firing place? :S :hmmm
Re: Soviet divisional gun on maneuver
Gun sights are easily damaged and removed (sometimes along with the mount) for storage during travel. The muzzle and breech usually are covered with canvas or leather. On some guns, so are the delicate mounts for the gun sight.
This is the ZiS-3, note that the gun sight and mount have been removed while the breech and muzzle are covered with fitted canvas.

Are you sure you are going to cover the fabulously detailed breech and leave off the wonderful resin gun sight and mount?
For travel, I would've used the kit parts and saved the K-59 items for another build.

Re: Soviet divisional gun on maneuver
sharkmouth, Iron Mike thanks for the comments. I want to leave finest K59 breech in view. The K59 gun sight is German, I want to build Soviet gun. And I plan to use 6 horses with limber from ICM for this dio. Probably the horses and limber wouldn't be in this topic. I'll think about hoe to compose horses, limber and gun with breech in view :hmmm

Re: Gun shield done
Terry Thanks
I use tin lead solder, soldering acid, butane torch for soldering details to the shield and small soldering tool for putting solder on small details.
The trick is to heat the right place, the surplus of heat I bring out with self-tightening tweezers. You can see that I overheated the right side of the shield, boxes and some other parts

Re: Gun shield done
Nice soldering!! should be able to scrub the burned section a little, but then again, maybe the primer will smooth it out for painting.

Re: Gun shield done
Thank you guys!
moon puppy, I sanded a little the overheated section and I think that the primer will smooth it for painting.
bagge, PE work is easy, you must be patient and have a solid hand :zen As for me, PE soldering is much easier than gluing. When gluing the PE you must place it right from the first attempt. I overheated the right side of shield when solder the triangular part for the third time
Iron Mike, the rock is always with me
