Ken KolenovskyNice one Dave! I like the weathering you have done on the low-sided gondola. One question; is the Flak heavy enough to be just laid into the gondola or would it be blocked in so the whole base wouldn't move?

Dave HillI'm sure your right that it would need some blocking. This base was from the Opel Blitz build I just did and I threw it in to see. It was also suggested that I upgrade from this "pea-shooter" to something more substantial. Ultimately the gondola car will be paired with Triebwagen 51 so maybe more bang is required. We can put this forward as a topic of discussion for our next coffee🙂

Logan EdenGood Morning, Dave The rail car and flak contrasting wood finishes give interest to the theme. The three wood finishes are all accomplished with outstanding results. The kit decals add to the rail car completion and look to be laid in excellently.Thanks for sharing the build. Catch Ya, Logan
