Anyone assembled one of these?
If I sit the figure on the seat the gun/shield is pushed too far forwards. The seat seems to be in the wrong place. It should be more to the side, I think. I can bodge it or leave the figure off, but if anyone has already done it I'll be glad to hear.

Just had a look. While I don't have the 37mm Flak (GR60), I do have the SP mount on a halftrack (GR194), which has the same pieces for the gun (I think!).

There is quite a big gap between the gun shield on the mount, and the shield that is attached to the gun. But it seems to me it's not due to the seated crewmember. I usually need to bend the legs of these (same crew comes with the 20mm guns) to make them fit, or I just don't bother and leave them off.

But I think in this case the whole gun/shield is a tad too long to fit snugly in the mount. With or without the figure. Maybe you could try to shorten it a bit. I've kept it the way it is, it doesn't bother me too much.

Thanks very much. It is the same gun assembly, I've got both to assemble.
