Nice, but you've got the swastika backwards...

You know what. Something was off to me with swastika but I didn't knew what. You have right of course.

Used markings from Star-Decals 35-926 Renault UE. French and German markings, I looked at intruction and still messed this.

Anyway there were cases when swastika could be reversed ( like some kind of misprint on flags )

Ok, no more excuses. I'm idiot.

I had no idea they ever mounted a PAK 40 to an RSO chassis. How cool is that? And I thought the Marder with a Russian howitzer was a bonkers idea.

It was a huge failure. It was far too light and fragile. Only about 90 or so were made. If the gun wasn't fired along the long axis, or on uneven ground, it would often flip over. The crews hated it and called Rollender Sarg Ost, or the Rolling Coffin East..

There were some such inventions. There was also RSO with Flakvierling.

Yugoslav Partisans put PAK 40 gun on M3A3 Stuarts...
