As a commercial product? Rubicon already have one, so I was wondering. ;)

Not for Rubicon and a different scale  ;)

Thanks. Minor addition after feedback I've added a groove around the gumshield to give the appearance at least of spaced armour.

First print.

Quite a few bits need to be thickened up for production.  I'll also split the barrel from the recoil slide  I might eve split the barrel in two to make it easier to print straight!

Don't mind the apparent mess on the wheels they  are fine ;)

Second print but still more changes needed

Title: Re: Pak 40 - WIP
Post by: Rich H on April 02, 2020, 12:33:03 PM

Ok done

This is the third print assembled without glue (hence the droopy barrel!)

Obviously it will need glue but it's a lot easier to assemble now!!

Parts count is down to 12 plus 2 different wheels

Looks really good. It's one of those toys where you kick yourself for already having purchased inferior versions, and wonder whether you need to replace them.

I was originally joking about the NVA crew, but is this 1/50 as well?

Great, another scale/period combination....

Looks very nice and more importantly simple to put together!  8)

Having assembled several guns in the past it was important to keep it as simple as possible!  I've added locating lugs and so on for everything so it should hold together while the glue dries!

What an amazing idea, can you persuade Warlord and others to adopt the same approach?  lol
