Finished - 12cm Granatwerfer 42

Christian Bruer Autor
Zvezdas German 120mm Mortar with Crew (12cm Granatwerfer 42) is a nice little kit. The quality and details are fine and only the printed handles on the basic plate of the mortar are replaced by new ones made of rod. Let us see how it will come out when painted.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Spanjaard
Figures look really detailed

Christian Bruer Autor
Yes they are nicely detailed. It is hard plastic and not soft plastic. Each figure has seperate arms and legs etc. Also the poses are very dynamic for this scene.

Spanjaard
Nice!

Bruce Huxtable
Very tempting.... Watching with interest, Christian.

Christian Bruer Autor
Thx mates 🙂

Christian Bruer Autor
Paintwork is in progress, here the first finished figures and mortar.

Happy Modelling, Christian

Bruce Huxtable

Christian Bruer Autor

Mr James
Beautiful painting job, especially at this scale.

Christian Bruer Autor
Thx Mr James 🙂

Neuling
Everything here looks like a good 1/35 build ..........

Spanjaard
Fully agree with Neuling

Pepe
Increíble... Parece 1/35

Christian Bruer Autor
Now with all figures and accessoires done.

Thank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Pepe 🙂

I did a 75mm LeIgeschütz from Zvezda a while back and found these kits very nice, a far cry from what Zvezda used to be when the first kits hit the shelves.
Your granatwerfer, and especially the figures are beautifully painted, like Neuling wrote, as good as a 35th scale kit would look!

Christian Bruer Autor
Thank you for your kind words Jan 🙂

Finn
Looking good indeed!

Simon Nagorsnik

Christian Bruer Autor
Thx a lot Finn and Simon 🙂

Another one for the gallery. I made a little vigniette to present the s.Gr.W. and crew. Vegetation and tree are from Silhouette Modellbau GmbH, wooden fende is scratcbuilt.
With the tree in the background, the high lawn and covered colours I got exactly the atmosphere I want.

You can see this one and many more on our VMF-06 German Gamblers / Modellschmiede Hämerlwald Club Stand (H-11) and Scale Model Challenge 2023 in Veldhoven NL on 14./15. Ocotober.

Happy Modelling, Christian
