I was quite happy to find a Italeri Autocanone 3RO, only to find out the truck is hard plastic but the gun is cast from the same flexible rubberplastic as the crew for some utterly stupid reason (aka costsaving). I wish I had ordered a Polish Bofors in my last order, I could have shown you its usefulness (or not) for your Finns.Gunbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901545363558114083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531440552074622798.post-85472672157188954552017-01-18T07:44:38.238+00:002017-01-18T07:44:38.238+00:00Great idea (re: the tarp), thanks!

Hmmm, the plastic is a bit strange...It's sort of halfway between the soft plastic used for plastic soldiers and normal 'hard plastic' used for kits. It's a bit oily, and bit messy when filed or sanded, but it's OK. My main complaint is the gun, it's quite bendy (as you say). I am still in two minds as to whether to replace it with a Millicast brass barrel (£3)! I'll finish the kit and see how I feel...I don't like bendy guns! :DMilgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791475027247097256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531440552074622798.post-39492125559803608092017-01-17T22:40:00.482+00:002017-01-17T22:40:00.482+00:00Build the under tarp one using just the wheeled fr...Build the under tarp one using just the wheeled frame (with new wheels) then use spare sprue and bits t get the correct shape and tarp that over. That way you get a spare gun you could mount on something else if you need it someday. How is the Zvesda plastic? I bought some guns in the past but I got put off by bendy plastic, is this any better?Gunbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901545363558114083noreply@blogger.com
