So cool. I love the shading going on. That gun is so massive, it looks like it should tip the vehicle over if you swung it to say the side.

Great painting job... nothing looks too "monotoned" here.  What is going on?!?!?!?  Everybody is building something with BIG guns now...

Very nice work on the paint shading! Yes

I am curious about the gun sight arrangement on this vehicle and admit readily to not knowing anything about it one way or the other. The splinter shield doesn't have an opening for a direct fire optical sight and you have it fitted with an artillery telescoping sight, is that how the prototype was originally set up or did you go that way on your own? I would assume this design was meant to be used in an anti-tank direct fire mode only but would be happy to be proved wrong.

there are no gunsight hle in the armor shield at the archive picture visible. 

why i mounted the gunsight? just to make this part of the miniature more interesting.

 

in my opinion this vehicle was built probably just to test, how the hanomag 'works' with this gun. 

but there is another explanation- it was prepared to show to the 'chief' another eye-catching  vehicle..

Thanks Kamil, makes sense as a test bed/mock-up. I agree with you that the sight adds interest/details...and probably impressed the chief during inspection as well! Wink
