"And now for something completely different", a Brief Interlude.

 After finishing up the second regiment of GNW Russians (yet to be posted here) and waiting for the black undercoat to dry on the first batch of the THIRD regiment, I pulled this out of my storage drawer and put it together, I can't remember how long I have had it, quite a few months for sure but less than a year I think - anyway, its done now and just needs to be painted.

A very nice, highly detailed kit but with only a relatively small number of parts - I do find the Zvezda 1/72 models are all like this! The previous one I did was a ZIS Russian 76mm gun and it too was simple to put together. The premade base with the exact positions to fit the crew into is also a great bonus. I started painting the crewmen this evening (along with the first half dozen GNW figures) so a completed model should appear here in the not-too-distant future.

Nice clear instructions although they could be a bit better on informing exactly what order you do things - I assembled then attached the gumshield , and then had to eff around getting all the fiddly parts like the two crew seats and the gunner aiming the weapon etc in place - I obviously should have done them before attaching the shield - but it wasn't obvious to me until it was too late, and the instructions seemed ambivalent about the order!

This is the entire kit - as I said, not too many parts - which I like! I don't mind assembling kits but its just a chore, I don't get much out of it bar the finished product!

Several views of the said finished product.

A great little kit and an 88mm gun will be a useful addition to my 20mm WWII German force.
