LeFH18/40 DrafModel 1:16

[Johnny]

Hello guys and girls!!
Finally a new model from DrafModel arrived in my mailbox!!
This is a long awaited release of another cannon from Draf.
I guess the standard was set with the PAK40 last year with a total rating of 11 out of 10 points !!
So I'm sure the leFH holds and even raises the limit this time.
The model is of course equipped with a lot of laserparts,and I guess thats kind of vital on a build like this with no room for errors in the cutting phase ......

The kit.


The kit contains a total of 33 pages.
The first 3 pages are info and polish instructions.

Then 6 pages with really good 3D instructions follows.
We can see that a lot of work have been put into the instructions.




Next page is the one that covers the rolled parts printed on thin paper for rolling around objects of a given diameter.


Now 6 pages of parts follows.

[Johnny]

The shells and projectiles are printed on 2 pages of glossy paper that have a nice metallic effect.


So another 6 pages of parts follows.




One page with wooden and metal parts in 1:1 scale follows

And one page with the inside of the barrel plus an extra if you mess up.....

[Johnny]

So another 4 pages with 3D drawings




The last 3 pages are laesrparts charts with the laserpart sheets marked so finding the right part is easy.


The laserparts


The kit really looks good and with my experience from Draf's last Pak40 I'm really looking forward to start this build.

Wow! Another major project from the Master!

I look forward to seeing it take shape.

Artillery scares me! That's alot of paper rolling.

[Don Boose]

Yeah, but Johnny has this little crew of 1/24th military trolls who do all the detail work for him. Obviously, no normal-sized human could possibly turn out work of Johnny's quality.

What a nice surprise, Johnny!!

Those metallic paper look very good! Let's see how your little trolls manage those.

I brought the kit with me at work tonight and I'm drooling over here now...
Man it just looks so well designed and prepared!!

So guys.....GO AND GET IT!!!!!

Very nice looking model.

I wish someone would design a piece of Naval artillary with that much detail. The laser cut parts included are the icing on the cake. Uhm, I guess that makes the ammo sprinkles. I think I'm hungry.
