Yeah, there's no closing. Please let everyone know what you did. For me, I thought that if I were presented with the question, I would just start with a Panzer grey or dark grey as a base, or Tamiya's XF-65 Field Grey, and then apply highlighting or shading as necessary, and weather it. So I'm curious to know what you chose to do.

Prost!

A simple

And it looks good

Thanks for adding that! Yep, we had the same idea. That's pretty close to the other greys I was thinking of.

But now i have another problem,.....i can't find any suitable gun crew,......so anyone have a suggestion??

For a gun crew you could probably use figures from several King and Country lines, they have some coastal artillery guys that could be modified to be holding the smaller shell for the pak 40 as well as various guys with mortars and some of the other kneeling figures such as the one with binos. But I dont know how much you want to spend on figures. These guys wouldnt be too bad. I looked in TFs section on K&C and found them. Not sure if anyone else even produces a figure that would work with this gun.

The mortar crew is a good idee,........so something like this, then i just need to buy a officer.
