Neilie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi Folks, Here are some photos of my recently completed QLB and Bofors Mk l on a Mk ll Carriage. The QLB is based on the Airfix QLD chassis with a scratcbuilt body and features a detailed interior complete with snatchblock/straps, pick heads and handles, winch and fairlead rollers and pulleys, and 5 Enfield rifles in the racks in the crew compartment. The gun is the excellent Milicast kit with a photo-etch Stiffkey sight added. I hope you like it. Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Really nice, how do you get so much detail into something so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilie Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks, Tony......I use small tools on small bits of plastic, etc. and having a small mind helps too:D Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Nice work! Incedible detail for 1/76. Although I might suggest that Bofors weren't towed loaded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilie Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks for the positive comments Schliesser92.......you are probably right about the towing loaded, but I have at least 3 photos showing them being towed loaded and in two of those, the Elevating and Traversing Layers are in their seats. Maybe this was more for parade or show and not in action although one of them, a Canadian Bofors is being towed with crew in position and infantry marching along side....possibly on excercise.

morris c8 fat Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Cant up load it but there is one of them fully kitted up in Tunisia/Italy possably on convoy protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I seemed to have opened a can of worms here! I just wonder how stable it would have been firing from the travelling position? Can't have much of a firing arc, either! Still doesn't detract from an absolutely superb model ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
