dragon 1/35 flak 88mm
- Thread starter shovelhead 1977
- Start date
coming along nicely, Im using a set of voyager pe parts, but the kit is very well detailed so all the pe parts will not be used. some really fiddly bits such as the winding handles on the cable reels, but its worth it, thinking about building this on the floor as that's where most of the small parts seem to end up !. no problems with the build as yet, but the instructions could be a bit clearer in some areas !

these have had a coat of 'whitewash 'slapped on, apparently if no proper white paint was available then white sheets or whitewash was used to cover the grey. did read that whitewash was just slapped on haphazardly, it also tended to come off when it got to wet !

Looking very good indeed and sorry for being so far!!! As you say and from what I gather, I don't think they were particularly careful about how they got the whitewash on.
Looking forward to seeing this finished!!
Well done again and ATB.
