Austro-Hungarian MG team, 1917 style

 Another kuk MG team. The sand-coloured parts are from an ICM kit and the figures began life as….modern Chinese infantry!

 At long last I have finished this kit, so here it is varnished and based for your inspection. The crew figures are individually based so that they and the gun can be used in other settings.

Not much progress to report I’m afraid but the kit has at least had a black undercoat and some of the main colours applied

It feels like - and probably is - months since I last built a kit, so today I dug out this tatty box and set about the contents.  I knew it would probably be a bit fiddly as the gun uses the same carriage as the 45mm AT gun (itself a development of the German 37mm).  Gun aside, the appeal of the kit is that it also includes the limber, a pair of horses and five rather nice crew figures.  

Two hours later and the build is largely complete.  I have, of course, dispensed with several of the more delicate parts including many of the bits of harness. But so far so good.
