If it helps you, why not sell as a kit or built? I can't see demand dropping off so no rush. Just go public on price and wait for the orders to arrive

Once i know i can get parts delivered and they start arriving at my door i can re-cost based on the higher UK prices and publicise.
As said before the bearings and hardware i get imported and only got enough to make an initial handful of Pak40s.
But where i may get 5 bearings for £5, now i am almost paying that per bearing

Will price it all up in due course and put on a For Sale post for all to see, this thread was supposed to be a show off and development thread haha.
Anyway more pictures to follow and i have some upgrades and downgrades planned as well as an option list.
Early & Late style wheels and other parts.
Extra accessories to go with the guns like ammo boxes, shells used and unused. Different style tyre options e.g. 3D printed or other.
I have made a squat version which although has working suspension it is more limited and actually allows the model to be depressed into the firing position or brought back up for towing with more clearance.
I will be doing a static version which will use 3D printed bearings so that cost can be removed for those who want to use in diorama scenes rather than being towed.
Later in the year i will be motorising the barrel for recoil, but i still thinking about that one. So watch this space on this and other developments. I like designing new things

I shouldn't say here, but the 251 is already underway. But if the Pak40 to go by, then it could be a year long project.
Also we are already doing a few parts for an RSO. So its a race of RSO vs 251

Ok I been quiet for wee bit too long on here. Been rather busy at work and other work. I worn out from this lockdown. From power transmission to ventilator machines to scale military vehicles and accessories I have been MAD busy.
Good news is that my dining room table is kind of full of Pak40s and if anyone wants one then there will be some available soon!
We also have a early or late model set of wheels etc which can be used to spec the model slightly different

Some pictures to prove i not just saying haha
Wayne's 1st Late Model on the right
Then the next i think is for Lee and then more for others
The PLA situation in the UK almost seems a little bad at moment, so i have been sourcing whatever i can from wherever i can and means some weird and colourful Pak40 are starting to show up. Ever wondered what a grey and black Pak40 would look like haha?
