Trumpeter's 152mm M1937 ML-20 not moveable sideways ! WIP

The idea of a snapshot is all right .

 I was just disappointed because it's usual that plastic guns (yes not resin) have at least different angles and I can choose the position as the modeller .

But the rest of the gun is well done as far as I can tell in my progress ...

IMHO movable parts have nothing to do with final accuracy. If you're not moving it why does it need to be moved. I like to think of models as frozen snapshots in time, and moving parts take away from that. Just my  

Too bad it does not traverse and only elevates. Would have expected it to since Trum does make some very nice kits. I love the AM barrel. Might have to try and find a couple of barrels for future projects.

That's not why. I always try to build my stuff as close as possible to the real thing , that is reason why !

 I just think that it makes no sense to build anything precisely to scale , we all know how we measure ten times or more to get everything right , and then just leave movable parts "welded together" ?

I'm not building toys I just try to build an exact replica of the real existing thing !

I hope you guys understand this answer right , I'm not trying to piss anyone off !  

As Floyd says: MODELING IS FUN !

And now back to the workbench ...

So he can have "carpet wars" and set up his stuff to go "boom boom".  We've all done it Gino!  Don't be a party pooper! 

Why does it have to be movable?  I don't see the point in leaving it movabe.  Why not just cut off the forward pin and use the rear one as a pivot point.  Set the angle you want and glue it in place.
