US 57mm Anti Tank Gun

In an effort to save some money I thought I would try and build an Anti Tank Gun.  What's the logic?  Well consider I might play 2 to 3 scenarios per year with it, there aren't many good hobby shops with model kits around me, and frankly I just wanted the challenge.

I have to say it went pretty well building it , and it turned out almost exactly like I thought it would - save for one minor detail - it's too big!  Anti Tank guns are built to be manhandled and this behemoth is definitely not as "portable" as its real-life cousin.  

Still though, it will make a nice addition to my US Forces once it's painted.

Next project is a PAK 40.  Enjoy.  Now back to painting more French Fusiliers!

Can't wait until it is painted.

I wonder if General Dean is satisfied with their position?

I'd have to call this thing at least 1:76 or maybe even 1:87.  Note how he towers over the poor 15mm guys in the background...

Note how the gunner almost has to squat his body down to receive the benevolent cover 

Huzzah!
