Hello guys!

The Bofors 40mm is nearly finished. Just some minor details and the last two tyres left to make.

Here are some shots from the completition of the gunbase and the onboard things. Just a few small adjustments of the parts left.


The overall quality in this kit is outstanding, and is suitable for all modellers. No certain skills are required.


The guns is moveable in all directions


I think it looks really good


So stay tuned until next week....then it will be finished
