Got this great old piece for Christmas as a gift to myself with some built up credit card points off of Amazon. It looks nice as is but once I have a truck or half track to limber it around with, it and the gunner will get a paint job and weathering. Pictures:

Very nice Painless. I have been eyeing this set for a bit now. How does it look sitting next to the 1/16s .

Michael,
Here are a few shots of it sitting next to the biggest tank in my collection, the HL Porsche turreted King Tiger. It looked fine to me. 21st Century's scale meter always ran a tiny bit bigger than the early Ultimate Soldier men and equipment 1:18 series.

That's impressive Painless, looks good next to the KT.

I like the detailed ammo too in the crates.

Merlin,
I have been wanting one of these for a while and looking at them like Michael. It was between this or the 1:18 Flak 36 and the deciding factor was what kind of vehicle could pull them. With the Pak 40, I can use one of the easily available Opel Blitz trucks to pull it in limber. With the Flak 36, I would have to shell out for a larger vehicle like a ZugKraftWagen 7. More fun on the way this year.

Its nice mate, good pick up.
Whats the go with ole mate in the back of the lit display cabinet with the AK 47 ??!!
If its a StG '44 I can understand but it needs the forewood painting gun metal !!

Nice gift to yourself Painless... maybe you can rig it so you can pull that with a Panzer III ...maybe the Stug..or make a Schlepper like Herman made

Have a Prosperous new year Buddy

Nice find there painless, a good start to 2015. Look forward to seeing it hitched up to something. The figures are cool too, looks good next to the king kitty.

Looks really smart that. I used to get Amazon gift vouchers as a freebie from my credit card but they stopped doing it recently ......so I kicked that card into touch

As said - looks well against the KT.

Herman,
Good Morning! I hadn't really thought about it. It is a StG 44' ( or supposed to be ) that came with the figure. I set that fellow there as the Pak 40 and gunner don't take up a lot of space of the shelf. Once I get an RC truck or halftrack to pull the gun, I'll do a detail and weathering job on the gun and gunner and add that fellow in as well and correct his weapon. Lots and lots to do this year.

Painless
