G'day friends,

    I'm happy to complete the Takom kit.  The kit is OOB with the exception of the main gun which was replaced with a metal barrel made my Master Models, a Dragon MG 42, and three figures from Miniart which were at one time tankers for a Russian Valentine kit.  The berets and comm gear were made by me.

Very nice Gaz and a great idea with that two part weathering. The upper side weathered only a little, with the dried mud from a recent pond crossing on the lower side, emphasizing the bow wave, nice touch.

Cheers Rob

Thank you!  Fortunately, I had a nice picture to give me this weathering idea.

Nice work! I had to laugh: an MG 42 on a Bundeswehr vehicle...! Is the MG 3 that similar to the old buzz-saw? Only re-chambered and re-barreled from 7,92mm to 7,62mm NATO? :sofa:

Thank you!  Actually, many of the early 'Mg-3's' were actually had  MG 42 still stamped on the receiver.  But I haven't looked up the complete rundown on the MG-3.  I image outside of some small external differences, everything is the same except that it got altered a bit to use disintegrating belts like the M-60 uses.

Heheh, I asked the question because I don’t know myself. But I found the notion of an MG-42 on a NATO vehicle amusing. Like having R4M A-A rockets under the wings of Starfighters...

Interesting comparison.  But the MG 42 was well advanced for a machine gun, and the R4M was a very early rocket.  I doubt much was done to the 42 to make it a G3.
