Title: ww1 German howitzer GP7
Post by: republic of tolworth on 24 September 2013, 10:58:10 AM
Not sure if it's me or not, but I can't get this model to go together right. And it's only four pieces  :'(.

Wheels are fine, it's the front shield on the 105 howitzer that just doesn't work? Any clues ideas?

It slopes forwards at a 45* angle. Looks very wrong.  :-\

This is how the shield should look. The protrusions on the outer face of the shield is the seating for the gunners when in transit. These models have been converted into Japanese 75mm guns.

Aha, so it was me getting the shields the wrong way around.  :-[

Some of the pictures I had seen looked different, oh well. ???

Thanks. Now I can forge ahead with these units.

:D
