discussion Sd.kfz 7/1 Flakvierling - 1/35

[takeslousyphotos]

I'm calling this finished .......... Comments good, bad or indifferent always welcome.


Tamiya Sd.kfz 7/1 Flakvierling - 1/35 ......... I acquired as a part built kit. Not too much of a challenge. But detailing the gun pretty much fully assembled was interesting.


Here is the build thread .....

(N.B. I used the old dio base from "the little Green Men" for the photos)


Thanks for looking.

That looks fantastic, the weathering is spot on...... The cracked concrete dio is superb.... Top job

Very nice Peter , weathering is good it looks like it's been around the block a few times , just needs some figures

I did have a question, I can't see from the photos, is the checker plate dry brushed with silver at all? I don't know how they would clamber about these but some dry brushing around the gun in a circle seems like it would look good?

Thanks Ken. It Isn't up there with your "Reale Dr France, but I`m moderately happy with it.

I did think about that Dougie. But there ain't a lot of room or much of the deck showing. So I went for a worn rusty iron look.

Give over that ship is just glue and paint, what you've done there requires a lot more skills.
