...when i regained consciousness... the figures were there still... 😱

[@markfergerson2145]

For an entirely open model like this adding the figures makes sense, otherwise it would look abandoned. That would be heartbreaking. Using a base also makes sense given the not especially strong, stable legs sticking out just asking to be broken off. Deny their desire Herbert, it will also give you someplace to put the ammo carrier figures and the ammo box. Hell, might as well make a vignette out of it.

My thought was a base would save the loaders from getting lost, yeah. And It seems like a nice idea to use the ammo boxes. It didn't occur to me that it would look abandoned without the crew, but that actually sounds like a cool idea to model as a little diorama.

Your Bofors pronunciation is quite good Herb, you wouldn't pass as a local but you would definitely not embarrass yourself

Nice model and build. You are correct about the recuperating cylinders - they should remain horizontal - the Rubicon box art is wrong in this respect.

i would highly recommend this for a commonwealth or Australian player of bolt action. its their equivalent of a pak 88.

My dear departed father, a hard drinking, chain smoking, womanizer was a layer on a 40mm Bofors in WWII. 00:49 ____around and find out.

It’s a pity the towing vehicle was not included with this kit as it is quite an impressive vehicle in it’s own right.
