Luis Ferrer nice

Steven Baerselman For anyone in the know, regarding fixed AA / flak, ww2 german, was it usual or common for any flak to display some type of unit markings? I'm just wondering as I would like to make up a fixed flak emplacement set in africa (DAK), this AFV set looks ideal but I wonder about unit markings etc. I take it for DAK use it would be in that usual DAK yellow?

Joerg R. I recall only seeing kill marks. Sometimes I saw unit markings at the trailers. But never say this happened never

Steven Baerselman never say it never happened? then i shouldn't need to potentially not worry about it?

Joerg R. Yes, at the moment I haven't seen a photo, but no photoevidence at the moment doesn't mean that it ever happened. There was no rule as far as I know.

Steven Baerselman Sorry, that was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but appreciate the info. I'm not going to worry about it then. Cheers.

Erik Leijdens Mooi ding Wim

Wim van der Luijt Wordt een feest om te bouwen....ik ben dol op PE (NOT!)

james mcdonald Hey bro. I made it here

Dave Flitton Good start. What kit is this?

Luka Novak Tamiya 1:35 20mm Flakvierling 38. Simple and easy kit

Luka Novak Not satisfied with how ammo boxes turned out. Couldn't make "rusty look" work so I opted for "worn metal" but overdid it. But at some point you have to admit that things are as good as they'll get and further messing with it will only make it worse. Stuff on the right Royal Model resin kit, stuff on the left boxes and magazines included in kit and some extra parts I had from previous kit.

Dave Flitton thanks for the info

Leif Adams I recently did this kit myself! Loved building it. Yours is much better.

Luka Novak First two figures. My first serious attempt at shadowing this scale and face shadowing. Neither turned out perfectly. I'm still trying to find face shadowing technique that works for me. Still a lot of elarning so these faces look like.... well.... something.......

Luka Novak I'm calling this done. Somewhat dissapointed at how it turned out. Even if it was still "getting back on the horse" type of project I hoped it will turn out better.

I wa splanning on making a flak bunker but that fell through. Either I got bad batch or crap producer but if I looked at it sideways it started to fall apart, if you slipped knife a hair width it turned out badly and don't get e started on gluing it together. So I ditched that and improvised this dug out. I see now I should ahv echosen smaller base.

But I did learn some improtant things, namely that flak vierling is great kit (and cheap!), Trumpeter figures are to be avoided, how to build plank wall/trench shoring and benches, a bit of weathering and shadowing on figures (this requires a lot more practise), Vallejo 830 and 920 are not good choices for field grey and I should stick to Life Color set.

Paints: mostly acrylics, some enamel and hardware brown spray paint

Holger Kranich Nice build so far, i love the FlaK-Vierling!

Josiah Koval Cute.....

Rui S Nice one strait from the box.
Just a note on the visibility of seam lines on the round shock absorbers and the unfilled holes in the shields interior.

Leif Adams Uhm...thanks?

Rui S Hope you don't mind me saying, it is with a positive intention...

Leif Adams I totally understand! No worries at all! The emoticon was more what I was commenting on. It frowns, you see. I did forget to clean those parts up! I just wanted to finish it and hide it away.

Rui S Please Leif, don't hide it, it's a good piece and most important, out of the box... Sorry about the emotion, my bad choice ... P.S. I also like the way you show it...

Leif Adams Thanks, Rui! Again, no offense taken for none was given. I was trying to be funny. We Amis tend to do that in the worst way.

Rui S OK, thanks mate... Be sure that no plane goes in front of that one, hehe...

Choppa Nutta haha, oh ok then, just this once

Ulf Petersen It did!
OK, I see you have fun with that, so you might wanna have a look at the pictures I added to my MG42...

Choppa Nutta yes but who did the hair and make up ??

Choppa Nutta Matel or Tomy probably just to answer my own question

Ulf Petersen

Burkhard D My tablet almost got doused with coffee. Hilarious, great start of the day.

Ulf Petersen I take no responsibility for damage to property resulting from reading this thread!

Christian Meyerhoff These are pure fun! Two very nice kits!

sven Started some time in the seventies

M.Julian Marles Yep, '75 I think

Manfred Knoll I started with this project at the EME in Heiden on our DMMB booth, as a workshop
demonstration for soldering PEs on the Lion Roar Trailer. Pics will follow in the next days.

Ingmar Stöhr The camo pattern is a very loose interpretation of this picture of an 8,8 cm Pak 43/41

Michal Z. nice!

Ingmar Stöhr Finished this one just in time for the upcoming show in Koblenz next weekend: (0., )
This Kit is a lot of fun to build an there are so many possibilities since this was such a common gun.

H K Great I like the camo and the suptly chipping.

Holger Kranich Moin Ingmar!
Modell und Vignette gefallen mir äußertst gut! Wie lange hast Du daran gewerkelt?

Mike Kryza Hi Ingmar - respect, looks very good.

Fabian D. das kommt wohl raus wenn man das mit dem Farbe wolkig auftragen zu wörtlich nimmt
Sorry chaps, pun only working in German... nice little FlaK, Igmar

Lionel Marco

At my first glance it seems quite simple. But after looking at the pictures your kit is very subtile with it's weathering.
I like it it very much!

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!

Ingmar Stöhr Thank you all for your kind words!
@Fabian - good one!
@Holger: started 4 weeks ago. I would guess about 10 to 15 evenings went into the model and the base.

Fabian D. Pictures would be nice
I'm wondering how good these figures are...

Holger Kranich Thats a nice one!
