2cm Flak

Finished this the other night. It's actually quite a tidy little kit with some good detail, tempting me to look at other guns by Ace, particularly an M2-101 howitzer; I'd like to compare this with Paul's most excellent conversion http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.com/2010/06/m2-m101-105mm-howitzer.html
I originally tried to use a Revell horse artillery figure but it was too big, this one, though cruder in appearance, is much better - clearly a veteran if the tally-record is anything to go by!

    By chance I just brought two of the 105's on trademe last week.

    The 20mm looks good, nice and worn. Well done.

    The gunner may be old (Hasegawa halftrack driver?) but he's clearly a good shot!

    Cheers boys, I had wondered about the crew figure, just for interest sake - I'm thinking Hasegawa
