Hi guys long time since I posted . but managed to build another railgun.

Hi guys finished latest scratchbuilt railgun , Saint Chamond built eight of these very large calibre 400 mm howitzers fielded in the summer of 1916 they were very effective.

Hi guys been looking for a kit of this flak gun in my scale, could not find one so decided to convert a sd.kfz half track to one, all the armoured cab and rear was scratchbuilt using plans found on line. the 88 gun was a zveda kit converted to a flak 37.
Hi guys pair of 1 72 scale halftracks a revell and a hasegawa built not bad kits but changed the pak 40 on the hasagewa kit. Due to small size of models decided to have both on base with Ceaser figures.
