I saw one of these "accurized" and tricked out with some Jaguar interior drop-ins, plumbed-coolong system for the guns, etc..etc...in an issue of MMiR and I must say that yours looks as good as his and he probably put a couple of hundred more hours into his...!!! He did a tri-color scheme which I thought was cool.

Awesome job... Yes

Everything the Sergeant York wasn't, simple and effective. Great job on this one and just goes to show what a good build and paint job can do to spruce up an OOB build. Congrats!!

Pat.

Why do I feel like there are gonna be some more of these here soon?

Nice take on a subject not often seen (at least by me).

Manstein ,BUY IT ! Its a good kit . Yes The cannon assembly is a bit fiddly . This one is OOB except for the wire mesh on the exhaust , the chain that holds the log and the log is a trig off of my poplar tree . Geeked

Thanks for looking guys and your comments are much appreciated ! Toast

Why name a self propelled anti aircraft weapon after a river in Russia ? Hmm Strange name . The Polish have a better name for it " maszyna do sczycia" ( sewing machine ) due to the sound of the 4 x 23 mm cannons. Must of been one heck of a loud sewing machine ! Another more appropriate nickname is "Zeus" ( Greek God of sky and thunder) now thats a good name for this weapon that has a combined rate of fire of 3400 to 4000 rounds per minute !
