Not getting too much done on the hobby front with with the holidays happening and all, but thought I'd post a few pics and whatnot to sort of tie up some loose ends.
First up are a couple of pics of the Quality Castings M42 with a basic paint job:
The figure in the top photo is from Peter Pig's AK-47 line of figs. Below is pic from overhead comparing it with a Quality Castings ZSU23/4 and a QRF ZSU-57/2.
Next up is QRF's Soviet S-60 57mm anti-aircraft gun from their Post War line of vehicles and figures. Last I checked, QRF didn't have a photo of this on their site, so thought I'd post one.
This is actually quite a nice model, and I did not do it any justice. It is very busy, with very nicely detailed, finely cast parts. It is fiddly, and I left a few pieces off, rather than break them off later. Still, the photo gives some idea of the quality of the model itself.
It is cast in resin and comes unpainted and unassembled in 7 pieces. The commander's hatch can be positioned open or closed, and can be built with or without the gun-shield. Note that the gun mount is fiddly, and that I had best success in building the model by gluing the the mount to the gun, and then gluing the gun assembly onto the commander's cupola.
Hope everybody has a Merry Christmas and great Holiday Season.
The good news about the M113!
