Once I finish my Leopard 2A6 diorama I'll start on this project.

Peter Hardy
Is he pulling your leg Mick?

Yeah well I always thought that when these guys fired these beasts they were sitting in them, but apparently you can fire them like an artillery gun too. Not really sure maybe the AFV Guys might like to educate us both on how it worked. I've got my paint set for Modern German Army AFV since 1955 coming from BNA that I ordered this afternoon. Just need to figure out what that generator/power plant box thing is behind the Howitzer. Not sure if I'm going to have the guy pulling the chord either because by the time I scale it out there will be a large area of nothing, not ideal for a dio base. I've got a couple of pics where the crew are just behind the PZH 2000.🤔

After doing some research last night I found out that they fire like the above picture when firing the first round after maintenance or in training it would be the first round fired to get the grew used to the sound and shock.

Peter Hardy
Or the gun may explode

I read just to be safe in case there is a loose screw, wouldn't want to be inside with that bouncing around.

Peter Hardy
Or, there might be a screw loose.

HAHAHAHA...

Peter Hardy
I'd hate to think that rope is tied to someone's toe!

Michael Hickey autor
or loose tooth.😢

Now that the Leopard is over I'll tackle this baby, this will be my first ever Meng kit.

Peter Hardy
Interested to see what you think of the kit Mick.

So far mate I'm loving it. Haven't had to much time to work on her but I'm hoping to get her close to airbrushing in the next couple of days, we'll see how we go.😢

You should James it's a really nice to kit to build with lovely details.
