1:72 E-75 5,5cm Flakpanzer (Rheinmetall Turret)
Opmerkingen
Tom B.That´s very much up my alley! The idea of the trailer is quite cool especially with the addon stowage elements present... Looking forward to further progress on this project 👍
Again, I might take some of these elements as inspiration for my Flakpanther 5,5cm project currently "materializing" in stash 🙂
Simon NagorsnikThanks mates and a warm welcome!
@Tom: The trailer wasn't planned at the beginning, but using it was a good decision... and a good way to reduce accumulated stuff
Take as much inspiration as you can 😉... because there can be no greater praise for a modeler´s work 😁
Hopefully I'll get to see your Fla.Pa. soon, I expect great things from you as well.
If you ask me, "what if" projects are always a quite comfortable "feel good" thing 😁😁
gorbyRemarkable work as always.
It would be good to have a larger photo of the trailer.
Alec KI agree with the mates, remarkable. And I add my vote for bigger pics to drool over 👍
Simon NagorsnikCheers mates 🫡
More pics from the trailer are unfortunately only available when the project is finished.... currently that's all what´s available from the building stage in terms of image material 😉
Album info
Flakpanzer on E-75 Standardpanzer chassis. 5,5cm Zwillingsflak- Gerät 58, Rheinmetall Turm.
For this project i´ve used Modelcollect´s UA72019 kit.
This kit is based on their pre- built collection series, which means that all the tools and side skirts and other details that are separate on the other kits series are shown molded on.
That's why the first thing I did was to remove all these elements.
Gun barrels and PE´s of the kit were missing, which is why I used new gun barrels from Aber (72L-61) and the small PE set from Hauler (HLH72132).
I used two sets of the original link and length tracks to create a convincing track sag.
A little note about the suspension: it was an absolute nightmare to assemble. ?
Furthermore, I made a few other small modifications and detailing, for example the use of storage boxes and welds.
For the most part, the vehicle is largely unchanged.
During the construction I had the idea to add an ammunition trailer.
This comes from Model Trans (MT72469) and is resin cast item.
The trailer is a bit simplified and needs further detailing work.
I didn't have all the necessary parts, time and inclination to make an exact reconstruction and therefore I rebuilt the scratch conversions more in the style of the original according to the 1:35 scale instructions from Bronco.
We're dealing with a "what if" topic here, so it should be okay...
The figurines (resin cast) are also offered by Modell Trans (MT72908).
