I now have the STL files up on Cults 3D. Details in the " 3D Models To Print " section.

Made instructions in PDF format to go with the files. Hope it is understandable.

Sorry for the photo quality ill try to get better ones in the next few days.

Looking really good mate

Thank you. I'm a better builder than i am a painter.

The paint looks good to me! Do you use an airbrush? I also noticed the big turnbuckles from the breech to the trailing arms. Apparently those BS-3s were just pulled open by hand, but held closed by the turnbuckles when the gun was towed.

Yes but its just a cheap ebay air brush and doesn't work very well. That or rattle cans.

That is extraordinary

Love it.

Although I cannot know exactly what "cheap eBay airbrush" you have tried, such an airbrush might be worse than a spray can. Although I have had a six airbrushes over the past 55 years, I never became accustomed to what is called a "double action" airbrush. I have, instead, mostly stuck with simpler and less expensive "single action" design. Given the 1/16 scale, I can even use these for camouflage schemes.
My current "go to" is a Paasche H,for it is not expensive, reliable, easy to disassemble and clean, can switch out to at least three tip sizes (for wider or narrower spray widths), and durable. If you are interested, keep asking questions.

considering it is 1/16, you made it really nice. very detailed. i like it very much
