1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

First of four legs done! I couldn't resist :-)

A bit worried about the build seam in the middle of the legs.

The placement of seat D21 on C29 had me wondering how far I should push the seat pin in, but I just decided to put it all the way and it seems to sit just fine.

I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t consider it impossible that the seat is on a screw thread so it can be raised or lowered a bit. (I checked the American Tech Manual for these guns in the hopes it would have a picture that happened to show this detail, but unfortunately not.)

Jakko, I could imagine something like that, too. Thanks!

Unluckily, I lost the engine hood for the Maultier :-( Now, I am not sure how to finish it.

If it is still being manufactured then email them and see if you can get a replacement part

Or just build it with the hood off and show off that nice little flathead V8 that should be part of the kit. Cheers, Rick H.

Coming along well Christian. A very nice build

I should try that. Havn't attempted with ICM before. Mirage from Poland sent a replacement part straight away. Dragon does not send replacement parts, I conclude based on my own and others' correlating experiences.

I built the engine, too. Can take a picture later. I usually build my vehicles so any hood can be lifted off for viewing, but I am not sure how I feel about doing without it entirely. It might make sense if it was never on a railcar, but as a war museum exhibit.

Thank you, Steve. It is a pleasure to build it so far. What I need is time, not motivation ;-)

Christian,
Coming on nicely.

[Gauge1TrainsDK]

Two legs are better than one, ai think. Here it is :-)

[Gauge1TrainsDK]

I met the t-shirt monster last night when building that leg, actually :-/ Spent 15 minutes turning on lights and crawling on the wooden floor before I got the good sense to pull my shirt over my head to see if the small hook part was stuck there.

Below, check out a picture of the beautiful and detailed wheel screens :-)




So many parts still left:

Nice progress, I have the Tamyia version part built I will get back to it one day.

How about a photo of the progress for detail comparison? :-)

Nice work Christian, you're making a great job of this kit.
