The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Well it has been a year since I touched the 222, and I am going to try and model the main gun and pedestal mount, as I am working from pictures, I did not know where to start? pedestal mount and work up, or gun and work down, as I had a rough idea on the size of the gun I started there, this is what I did today.





lots more detail to be added to the main gun
regards Jeff

Hi,

I'm glad to see that you are back on the 222. The cannon looks good and I look forward to seeing more pictures of the build. I managed to source some tyres and rims for the 1/6th dragster but I am currently decorating and winning some brownie points, so will not start modelling until next month.

Hi Jeff,

I have taken a look about the masses. For the 2 cm Flak 38 I have found the complete length is about 2252,5 mm ; without barrel 1257,5 mm.

I hope to see more pics from your 222

I did a bit more on the main gun, its slow going as I try to reference photos to get an idea of the shape and how it fixed together, so today I made the side brackets, and the recoil slide that they fix to, and the main box frame with the damper spring inside, and the elevation gear underneath





regards Jeff

i am trying to convay a sense of admiration without repeating myself, nice work jeff, ithink iv'e said that before, regards simon

Like Simon, I do not want to sound repetitive but can't help myself. Excellent work Jeff as always.

Glad to see this project on the forum again.

kind regards
Tim
