Dora-13I know we're supposed to repeat the inscriptions just like they appear on the box. So this is a technical note to the manufacturer: The proper designation of this product should be "8.8cm L/74 Flak 41 Barrel" instead of "...L/71..." The PaK 43 / KwK 43 had a 71 caliber barrel length. The Flak 41 however was an entirely different design, and had an even longer barrel. It also used different ammunition than both the Flak 18/36/37 and the PaK/KwK 43 families.

Bronco does include a sprue with a handful of cartridges, which is nice. However, these were designed for their PaK 43 kit, and are not appropriate for this gun.

TreehuggerI noticed that Hasegawa has a cheap'ish kit in 1:72, with wheels, but that is apparently some 70's kit with "new parts" in a newer release but with older molds I guess. What I did was getting myself a cheap'ish Roden Voman AA truck instead in 1:72 scale. I might get this Zvezda kit later.
Btw, Aber (Aber 72L62) has a metal barrel that probably fits, one way or another.
24. September 2019, 20:18
TreehuggerCorrection: The kit I referred to was 'Roden 727 Vomag 7'.

Sortic ZhaoFirst use black (lacquer color is recommanded) as base color, then apply vallejo rust color. After it dry, use a hard bursh, dip a little vallejo air brush cleaner, brush the place where you want to show the metal. When this step is completed, apply clear paint and main color, then brush the model again until you are satisfied. You can also try brush the model without air brush cleaner when the paint is half dry. This is my personal method, I hope for your help.

1. April 2016, 14:50
Urban GardiniWould this one be manned by an Luftwaffe or army artillery crew? I'm wondering about what waffenfarbe but I'm guessing that it should be red anyway regardless if it's Luftwaffe or army as it's artillery. But other than that I need to source the right collars etc. And should they have ärmelband "Afrika" or was it primarily the infantry that had that one?

Frank Jansoone@ M.Julian. I added the old 'Byrrh' advert board to get some color and a thing off interest into that corner of the dio. The red stands out nice I think. Thanks for appreciating the details

Urban GardiniLooking great mate! Good idea but a suggestion from me. You should consider adding one shell standing somewhere in the middle or beside the sign.
7. May 2015, 20:23
Ulf PetersenGreat model and nice idea of presentation!
I agree with Urban: you should add that shell. It would bring a color accent into all that grey.
How did you like the Dragon kit? I have the same in stash.
8. May 2015, 05:34
Jurica AntićThank you, guys!
I like that idea. I could do that!
@ Ulf Petersen - Kit is great, just like PaK 40... It has many many parts, so I assembled it carefully - step-by-step. Also with nice Eduard PE.

Tamas SargaI don't like to paint figures too, but it is necessary for this kit. Without figures it would be far less, I think. I stucked with the motorcycle at the moment, I have to do a lot of customization.

Wim van der LuijtOnly now did I notice that you called "Einsam und verlassen" and the the lack of figures makes sense

Steve WilsonHi just my two-penneth...
But!!! I agree with Maarten, it would give it the Marie Celeste feel
Never-the-less, a very nice build, showing some interesting and nicely done techniques

Holger KranichSmall but great done! Must be an extraordinary well-to-build kit that Revell offers to the modeler!

Roland RothWhen you are a 72er-fan, then you need the Sd.Kfz 7 and a vehicle for the Kdo.Gerät 40 - and you can build a nice diorama (I think
