Suggestion is to buy the kit. Use it as a counts as model until you are ale to replicate your own out of the auto cannon and the bits you scavenge from the heavy weapons box

wow....40$ for that...hum considering i have already bought 3 heavy weapon teams and 6 iron wheel spru i'll pass but thanks none the less...

maybe i should redo my opening line....how could i attach the wheels to the gun so that it looks like the pak 40 as well as how to make the carriage at the back of it...

thanks again sgt dude...i don't want to seem ungrateful .

Hey no sweat. Another thing you can do is to look at getting your hands on an old carriage model to be able to salvage the under carriage that you need. You can often find this in dollar stores or even in some toy stores. Check out some regular hobby stores and train stores and let them know what you are doing. Many of the people who work in these places are willing to give you some leads on where to find conversion pieces.

I`m not sure the miniatures are still availiable but if you want to attach the wheels to the gun the old style Lascannon bits might be a good place to look. Hope it helps

no we can't bits order in canada (as far as i know) since the start of 08...

I build a lot of WWII models in 1:35 scale and I can tell you that a 1:35 scale pak 40 will work great if you can just find smaller wheels for it(they will make the carriage too high off the ground). Tamyia makes a good pak for about $7 (usd) available at most hobbylobby stores. It's nice for conversion because the main gain is easy to just not be built into the main carriage. Hope I helped.

that would be very interesting thank you very much. I'll check out my local store asap

I'm way ahead of you...

A long time ago I pillaged my old 1:35 germans to make a stationary lascannon field cannon thing... fits almost perfectly with very little filing down, and looks great... just build the rest of the kit according to instructions, leave the gun out and put in your own. I think the kit below is a Tamiya one:
