hello everyone, just wondering if anyone has built the dragon 1/35 scale 88mm flak gun, if anyone has are there any problems or any thing to look out for ? building it for someone else so I don't want to make any mistakes [ or make a mess of it ! ] will probably start it once the Harley is done as he's not in any rush for it. any comments appreciated thanks
88 mm flak,
- Thread starter shovelhead 1977
- Start date
I moved it to this section as it was in the wrong one. A far better chance of someone swing it here.
Ray,
I made this quite a few years ago - I can't remember any problems with the model itself - but I CAN remember struggling with the instructions, with regard to which bits to add/swap/leave off for a particular barrel - Dragon are not noted for their paperwork, and this one lived up to that
Good Luck - Dave

Not the 8.8 cm FlaK 18, then? 
I am actually building the Dragon 6287 during these months, because this copy was without bags for the sprues. So I thought I'd better get it done before damage happens!
So far I am only up to step 5, and had no problems. Doing the 37mm version, wheeled, transport mode.
Have not decided on the paint scheme yet, but I really love the extras that come with this 2005 Dragon kit :smiling4:

Do you mean the 8,8 cm FlaK 37 when you say the 37 mm version?
Yes. It's probably just called Flak 37, since it is of course 88 mm.

German designations are like American ones: always include the qualifiers Just “FlaK 37” or “M3” might mean any one of a number of things, but “3,7-cm-FlaK 37”, “8,8-cm-FlaK 37”, “M3 halftrack” or “M3 medium tank” are clear.

Sure thing.
Right now, all I can show is the bottom pic right here:

I will make a thread for this build when I can (I have a very busy worklife, so please be patient with me.)
Kind regards
