Weather was lovely yesterday and had great walk up Ingleton Falls and had a meal in a restaurant!  Woohoo!

Anyway, I have painted the gun crew....but I need to get home to finish the gun itself.

If I get some time...I may try and do a few German paras!

Funny (not) that you should mention that.  I need a knee op.....but putting it off as far as I can.....and my knees are buggered after that effort.   It’s not the going up, but the coming down that does it!

British gun is done.  I was going to put some camo netting on it but decided not to.

I wondered, I am going to have to find a crew for my 17lb gun at some point, but very few companies will do a crew without an artillery piece. And even scarcer are crews of sufficient size.

I thought that the 6 Pdr was quite an effective A-tk gun. Wasn't one of the first Tigers to be taken out, was by a 6 Pdr in Tunisia or was that simply a myth?

The six pounder was a good AT gun. The Rifle Brigade held off multiple attacks at El Alamein with thirteen of them, facing long-barrelled Mark IIIs and IVs among other things, and taking out something like 30 to 40 of them (estimates vary).

Panzer 2 my eye.  :)
