Well I am about half way with the Howitzer. Very nice kit to build and very detailed. Everything is designed to move, recoil, barrel suspension, outriggers and wheels and even the side to side and elevation on the gun. The kit is in sub assemblies so it will be easy to paint and detail every part. I have mocked up the parts I have done to give an idea of what it will look like.Nemesis attached the following image(s):

Nice work Daran, especially on the barrel prep and there's some great detail in this kit by the look of it?
Well done!!

The main howitzer is nearly done, all the hand wheels to add next. Very detailed kit. Its only a dry assembly at the moment as this will aid in the painting as it is quite a size to try and paint in one lump! Nemesis attached the following image(s):

I had a primer session this evening, so while I was at it I gave the barrel and breach a coat and I am pleased with the finish. All my prep work paid off and no seam line! Nemesis attached the following image(s):
