Post by Son of a gun-ner »

43rdRecceReg June Winner.

1/16th Ludwig Comet A34.

Here we have a Comet A34, in the markings of the 11th Armoured Division/ 23rd Hussars.
It began life as a styrene flatpack basic kit from Christian Ludwig, but now sports many scratch-built parts, including:
-smoke dischargers
-2in mortar
-radio/ (Troop) intercom
-radio box
-Besa MG mounting
-Hatch hinges
-Mantlet mountings and trunnions
-side elevation unit mountings
...and many more bits and bobs.
Other parts are from the Taigen PzIV (Tracks etc.,); Shapeways etc., whilst the electronic heart is provided by the HL TK 6.1s unit. The Recoil unit is the new HL Alloy type, capable of being enhanced with the 'smoking barrel' feature
The models' painted with Ammo MiG SCC15, British Olive Drab (1944-45 vintage).

The build thread can be found here.

Sadly the purchased commander was overly large for the commanders cupola, therefore we are graced with a couple of 'guests' (Driver- Charlie Chaplin/Commander: Hauptmann Von Unsinn)
