Well I guess I'm going to be a bit of a copy cat.

I ordered the AFV T34-85 1944/45. Will post paper and kit pic when it arrives.
Quick question, anyone know who makes a street with manhole cira Berlin 45? Have a small idea I want to try.
Thanks
James

Hi James , I bet your idea is unique enough by the sound of the Man Hole .

Hmmmmm I will keep an eye out for an appropriate base , I think that Mini art may have just released one , I will see if I can find it . Something tells me a panzerfaust pop up attack may be happening

Jenny :kiss:

That would be cool. I thought the tank idling above the man hole. Upper torso of a man attaching a magnetic mine. Some Russian troops running along side of tank to action ahead.

At least that was my thought.

hmmm wondering about the panzerfaust now though.....

Hi James.

Sounds good. If the manhole cover is the same weight as the ones here in Canada you are looking at a cover that weighed between 200 and 250 pounds. How would the soldier have opened it from below?

I've lifted a couple and didnt think they where that heavy. But maybe I'll have to reconsider and have a panzerfaut in the rubble.

Looks like it may be a back order for them at present, but you can see the picture at least. Good luck!

Check Warriors at Squadron. I think they had a sewer vignette.

Sure... :woohoo:

This is as far as I've got done so far.

If you want the running gear to articulate I recommend mushrooming the pin on tthe lower shock strut so it doesn't disappear on you. Worked the treat for me.
