Good question, that looks like a modern repaint to me, and there's always the exception to the 'rule' where WW2 paint schemes are concerned.

Hey Mike, I hope you enjoyed your week at the beach. Yesterday was our shortest day Downunder, I'm now looking forward to longer days and the end of Winter, hurry up 31st August.

The model looks larger than 1/35 scale, and good enough accuracy for purpose. I think some of you artillery guys are sometimes OTT with your needs for accuracy, e.g. if required number of crew were made, the set would be too expensive.

I only had one childhood home, left it when I was 18 years old, then lived in over 30 other dwellings in a lot of towns during time working in a bank etc. The hottest town was Bourke, in Western New South Wales, and considered to be the start of the 'Outback', the coldest was Guyra NSW which is...
