When I saw that GB Modelli as releasing this gun, I knew I had to get it. The kit is wonderful and well casted. However, I wanted to add missing details. You can see from the photos that I added:
Rivets
A elevation gear shield. This component is not included.
Miscellaneous bits, like a drag hook, roller and mount near the right side trunnion, and holders for ramrods and such.
Love the details you have added! I too am in the proces of adding details and the missing items you have described. Love the paintjob you did! Might I ask which colours you used?
Thanks! I will get these colours as soon as I visit my local model shop.
After 2 years on and off scratching a Dicke Berta and placing literally hundreds and hundreds of rivets I thought it was time for something else... . I was wondering if adding all that extra detail was worth the efford, but looking at your model it definately is! You did a great job!
I did go one step further, as I wanted to make the limber-thingy (is it a limber?) as well. I recently bought a 3D resin printer, as my old filament printer wasn't up to the task. I made a 3D drawing of the wheel and it is the first print I did on my new printer. I am pretty satisfied with the result.
