Mg42 transit chest

Post by erer44 »

Hi,
First post here. Thought I'd share the transit chest I built for my M53.

It's fairly close to the way the originals were made. I did my best to age it, think it turned out pretty good.

Let me know what you think!

Excellent job.............looks just like my original MG34 box. At first glance I thought it was an original you were showing.

It's
Where did you get the stencils or did you just paint the numbers and letters freehand?

Thanks!
