It has been sometime since I have posted anything here. Holidays and then the flu (first time I've ever had it) have kept me away from doing any modeling...
This is a 1/32nd scale JMD Minenwerfer. Normal 1/32nd is 54mm but this now defunct brand actually scaled out to be around 60mm. As you can see I have added missing detail from this kit.  Here are the additions:
I added rivets and a hold downs on the top and front of the cradles.Â
Added trunnion flanges and tightening bars with solder. As the picture shows I turned the tightening bar ball ends from left over resin from the kit. I used my Dremel tool. I had nothing handy to use (not even poppy seeds) so I had to improvise.
Sanded down the barrel end to the correct shape and added details in plastic.
Currently, I am making the pole used to transport the minenwerfer.
I have not attached the sight at this point.
Comments and criticisms are most welcome.

I too bought this kit and was frustrated when I opened the box and saw how the figure dwarfed my Hecker & Gorors items. Â it was actually 1/30th scale; though I thought the detail was acceptable, Â I immediately put it on eBay. Â You've done well with your example!
For the cost of this model it should have had more detail. I don't mind adding it cause there are no other good models of the minenwerfer in this scale. AC Models does a 90mm version of a minenwerfer, butI received a figure kit of theirs and sent it right back.
