Captured Russian ammo used by the germans is hopefully the right description here? Im sure you chaps will help me out on this? :)

I couldnt resist this one that came out of a collection. Lots of nice stencilling and the packing crate is just lovely!!
Its a bit of a beast to manhandle on my own so i shall get my trusty assistant at work to give me a lift up to the room with it.

enjoy!

I used to have my collection upstairs, I'm not joking, some cracks did appear in the ceiling downstairs so it all got moved down there quicksmart before anything happened! I'd be careful if I were you.

Nice one Waff. It sure looks like a real minter.
Are you going to keep it in the crate or display it out of the crate?

At that time at the gym will come in handy with moving this one around.

What is the name of the gun for this projectile?

Thank you again blackwatch for the info.

That's it confirmed Waff. Time to start hunting.
On the up side at least it's not as big as the projectile.
