WWII GERMAN ANTI TANK ARTILLERY

Well here are the finished artillery pieces a Flak 36/37 88mm from Zvezda and 4 Plastic soldier company kits making 3 Pak 38 50mm guns and 1 Pak 97/38 75mm captured French barrel.











Really enjoy building the Zvezda kits the details are very crisp and the scale and poses of the figures excellent. Already planning a second of these to take on those Fireflies that I built earlier,the other Ronsons have a Tiger to worry about... see below.


Two Pak 38 50mm guns

I have tried to add some working to the models by adding the spent shell casings and ammo crates. 




The bushes are made from grated sponge soaked in PVA and left to dry then painted accordingly



Another Pak 38 50mm on the left 
A Pak 97/38 75mm captured French barrel to the right


Extra loader team based, I also have a number of single figures so that I can add 3 man loader teams to any artillery piece if needed. This is in line with the Battlegroup Overlord ruleset.

Will be needing a couple more Tigers to go with the Zvezda Kit below,
modelled on tank 231 as commanded by Michael Wittman at Villiers Bocage

March will be a busy month on the table but I don't intend to put up many updates of work in progress.

To build:
1 x Flak 88mm

3 more Shermans
British 6 pdr artillery
Achilles tank destroyer
