Daniel_Roxy Posted December 29, 2020 Author Posted December 29, 2020 Well done the gun shield now. Just need to touch up the paint and should be ready for the next step. Parts The middle part of the gun shield don't actually know what it's called but it moves up and down with the gun barrel. and the last few pieces 5
Daniel_Roxy Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Well it took some fiddling but I got the fun shield on. Looks good too. The barrel can still slide along it's carrier too. 7
Daniel_Roxy Posted January 1, 2021 Author Posted January 1, 2021 Just done with the legs. Now for all the small details. 4
GazzaS Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Nice work. As an artillery man, I can tell you that those legs are called "trails". This is an M198 155mm towed Howitzer. Four strong men could lift the trails from or to the pintle at the back of a 5-ton truck. 4

Daniel_Roxy Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Well I have started on the suspension now. The brake drums are free to turn on the axle and the wheels slot into the hole on them when I install the. And will turn with the drums. 4
Daniel_Roxy Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 Just sticking some of the details on the trails. Also spent about 30 mins looking for part B24 after it fell on the floor 6
Daniel_Roxy Posted January 15, 2021 Author Posted January 15, 2021 Just added some more of the details and a pair of small handles that I believe were used to spread out the trails when the gun was put into a firing position im not sure what these parts are but they kinda look like cleaning rods. this side. The left trail only has one were as the right one has 2 6 1
Daniel_Roxy Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 Put the wheels on. Not much left now. 6

Daniel_Roxy Posted April 5, 2021 Author Posted April 5, 2021 And also going to touch up all the scratched pain on the gun and carriage 3
Daniel_Roxy Posted April 5, 2021 Author Posted April 5, 2021 Well took a little longer than I thought it would but it looks better now and the shells and ammunition box look nice and clean. The Gun And the Ammunition Box casings and shells. I believe I got the shells quite good. Took about of effort getting the right colour for them 7
