37 MM Tubes and Crates

ROB48 · 11-10-2011, 10:49 PM

Just wanted to pass this on. I recently purchased some 37mm ammo tubes and ammo crates from Kim Colgin, aka "greatplanes27". These are great. I can only imagine the patience it takes to make these. For those of you with the US 37mm anti-tank gun - these are a "must have" item. I'm going to do a small dio with Marines manning the 37mm gun and these will definitely set it off. Thanks Kim and keep up the good work.

How do we order these parts and do you have pictures?

Thanks

Pete,
All you need to do is send a PM to greatplanes27 and Kim will take care of you. I also thought his prices were extremely reasonable, as well. The tubes come "ready made". He prints the crates on thin wood (balsa maybe) and you have to cut them out and glue together. In my opinion, these are well worth it. I am unable to send a photo because I can't find my camera. Kim did a post a while back showing how he makes these. I'm sure he would re-post the pics if you asked.
