Building

Looks good. How was the build?

Thank you! Well The kit itself is very cheap. So it lacks a lot of detail. I have just added the most important ones (in my opinion): side-view mirror, triangle on the roof and width indicators (?). I replaced the pick axe and shovel with lead ones. Fitting was okish. After i had finished, i noticed, that the stowage boxes a completly incorrect. But I guess i can live with that 😛
Next step are decals and weathering... I am afraid of the latter as i tend to screw that up xD

Looks real good, except... the triangle needs to be folded down. The triangle is only up if it is pulling a trailer

Fallax
Hmm that's a pity. I didn't know what that triangle means, actually. What do you think about the Blitz towing a PAK 40? Does that count as a trailer?

Dave Flitton
Hmmmm, sounds good to me, it's towing something

Fallax
PaK ordered, decals applied😉

And finally i am done with the Pak40. The building was quite nice. Many parts for such a small thing. I would like to mention, that basically everything can be moved or adjusted: The gun can be displayed in forward position or pushed back, after fireing. The gun can be moved up and down and turned. I decided to glue all that in position, because its hard to paint otherwise.
A little disappointment for me, that the only thing Roden didnt think of is the driving position. So a little scratch building is required: The lower front armor can not be folded up (also there is no shovel, nor shovel holder -> both added). The bar that should hold the earth spades together when being towed is fix molded to one of the spades. It has to be removed and replaced.
Overall a nice kit!

Good looking project. Your Pak40 brings it all together; with your shovel. 🙂
