Thought I'd post this since will give someone a laugh. Getting better at the figures (only look like zombies that died yesterday, rather that a couple years ago). It's the AFV fit. Went together very well, only problems were those that I made. Ain't that always the case. The barrell and compensaters (?) Are ally which is a nice touch, the tires are rubber. The figures are Miniart and the sandbags are Tamiya.

It's late evening, hence the long shadows ;)

If you mean the two horizontal tubes that don’t elevate with the gun, then they’re the equilibrators :smiling3: They contain springs to balance the barrel, so it can be elevated with little effort.

Should of remembered from the link you sent me, re the manual. Very interesting reading though hell of a lot of info.

Thanks, may revisit the figures and get some mud on them, a little too clean.

Thanks.
Excellent Andy, you should be very proud of this diorama.
Thanks, just need to crack painting figures, I'll get there.
