8.8 cm FlaK

Jake Holshuh Some day I will possibly make this into a diorama as i have started the 6 figures and have a resin street and wall to work.

David Deavall Did you get around to doing the diorama yet ?

Jake Holshuh no, it has creeped to the back of my shelf as I am struggling with my F4B conversion. Thanks for asking.

Treehugger I 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.

Treehugger Correction: The kit I referred to was 'Roden 727 Vomag 7'.

DrGMc An 88 under use with crew in place and shells aplenty

DrGMc A set of four 88 guns set up ready for action

Sortic Zhao Poor skill...

Gary Very nice. Gary

Sortic Zhao Thanks. Gary

EnsignExpendabl I love your scuffed metal effect, how did you do it?

Sortic Zhao First 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.

Frank Krause Wow, what a huge box!

Darren Ho Tai Eng Yeah its wide but not as tall as Meng or Dragon ones.

Frank Jansoone Thank you all for the kind comments! Much appreciated!

Frank Jansoone @Es-haq and John.

Indeed Alpine 35054 with Hornet replacement head from the German SS Officers Crushed Caps set (HGH 08 )

Ingmar Stöhr Very nice work. I like the subtle weathering. The base is nicely done and the figure looks also great.

Frank Jansoone Thanks Ingmar, glad you like it.

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

Mike Kryza Very good work indeed. The weathering is not overdone and you have an eye for the details.

Frank Jansoone Thank you for the positive feedback, Mike. Much appreciated!

uncle chop chop i agree with john van kooten

Rich Bednarz Would be the last model I built, fall/1981

M.Julian Marles a bit of a gap there!

Urban Gardini Looking great mate! Good idea but a suggestion from me. You should consider adding one shell standing somewhere in the middle or beside the sign.

Ulf Petersen Great 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.

Jurica Antić Thank 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.

Günther Debiscop What are those kill marks below the tank kills?

Ulf Petersen I'd say bunkers and fortified positions, right Jurica?

Jurica Antić I'm not sure, but it would be logical.

Rui S You are right Ulf

Es-haq Khosravi Great job Frank!

Frank Mennigke THX !

Andras Bara very nice

Paul Tomczak Nice job - I have one in my stash but I hat painting figure. Nice to see you added them to yours.

Tamas Sarga I 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.

Gábor Bélik Following...

Jens schön zu sehen das es vorwärts geht absolut sauberer Bau

John Van Kooten Very nice indeed! The detailing looks superb, even in this early stage!

Sebastian Schl. Thank you, i Hope i get this done in the next month, so i can start building Mörser Karl in January 15. have a nice evening.

John Van Kooten Very much looking forward to your progress on the 88! And to the Mörser Karl as well. That will also be an interesting build! You have a nice evening too, Sebastian, thanks

M.Julian Marles an oldie but a goodie..I like the fact you get a motorbike too!

Rick Beman It's a great kit considering it's age. The molds are a bit long in the tooth though. I would of been done sooner if it wasn't for all the flash and ejector pin marks.

MoJo Moin Ulf, das Buch müßte ich Digital haben, ich schau mal nach und melde mich

Ulf Petersen Cool! 8-)

MoJo Moin Ulf, brauchst Du noch mehr über die 88Flak?

Ulf Petersen Klar, wenn Du noch mehr zu bieten hast nehme ich Dir das gern ab.

MoJo Ok, ich mach Dir ne CD fertig

Ulf Petersen

Joerg R. cooles Teil, kommen da noch Figuren hinzu?

Mike Kryza Nee keine weiteren - Die einzige Figur die Du erkennen kannst ist die kleine Ratte... .) - Bei dem "Hafersack"...

Christian Meyerhoff Dat hest do moi makt!

Mike Kryza ...das fasse ich doch als Kompliment auf...

H K Zu Recht!

Holger Kranich Hell of a great work!

Holger Kranich Was? Man soll Gewinde schneiden? Dann brauch ich ja keinen Kleber mehr! Schrecklich!

Mike Kryza Manno - Holger - gehe mit dem Fortschritt. Wenn es soweit ist und ich Gewinde schneiden muß dann stelle ich mir halt ein paar offene Fläschchen Kleber auf den Tisch...

Holger Kranich Wär das für Dich nicht auch nur ne laue Substitution, Mike? Fast so als gäbs nur noch Mucke Fukk und keinen Kaffee mehr!

Mike Kryza Hihihi - auch an Mucke Fukk kann man sich gewöhnen...

Holger Kranich Hab ich bei Oma immer gerne getrunken!

Mike Kryza Siehste - und hat nicht geschadet...;D

Frank Krause Sicher?

Mike Kryza - Stellen wir abschließend in WRooge fest. - Aber um beim Thema zu bleiben, da gibt es ja auch die schöne Bausatzbesprechung vom Thomas Hartwig unter der Rubrik "Ausgepackt". Dem kann ich nur zustimmen. - panzer-modell.de/

Wim van der Luijt Nice....love the base and the whole vibe of the vignette...(Add some figures maybe?)

Roland Roth No, Wim - no figures, because then it would ammo, ammo boxes etc. also still missing.

Tim Vereecke nice diorama Roland

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

Maarten Kruizenga how about some coffee cups & burnt out fags if they were in such a hurry......

Steve Wilson Hi 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

Maarten Kruizenga sorry, i did mean to add that it looks really good

Christian Lehmann

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

Roland Roth When 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 )

Es-haq Khosravi Excellent!

Es-haq Khosravi Really like 1:72nd Equipment!

Roland Roth New pics:
Primed with Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow, Gunze H303 Green and Details with some Blacks ... now a 1st pin-washing

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Fine work!

Eend Such a large gun, and yet this model is so tiny. It looks great

Roland Roth New pics (# 25 - 34): Building & Weathering finished - now I'll build the little simple base and finally some dusting

H K "Highs: I think the instructions are worthy of praise due to them being clear and thus making construction easier than it could have otherwise been."

Mike Kryza Ok - first part of the last pictures...

Frank Krause Really nice finish. I love the metal look of the grey parts... Good job!

Mike Kryza Thx - here are the last pics - between part I and II I "had to" eat a little bit...:-D

leslie vandiver Sir truly again you never disappoint when looking at your photo-albums...I have the 88mmGunFlak36/37 from Tamiya looks to be dated the late 60s at least the early 70s I am getting ready to build and this kit mentions (in the instructions tells about the history) the 8 Ton Semi Track......Hold that thought cause I want to comment on your work, Out Freaking Standing and thanks for adding the info about the paint..Now for you and your family I wish you a Very Happy Safe and Prosperous New Year sorry I did not respond sooner I have been a bit under the weather

Mike Kryza Hello Leslie - thank you very much - I wish you and your family a good and successful 2013 too, but in the first line healthiness...
It's fine that you are back...:-D. And if you need sometimes more information - don't hesitate - ask a question... :-D Greetings - Mike

Es-haq Khosravi Nice Kannone!

Mike Kryza Hi Es-haq - thx a lot for your kind words. Looking back I can say this was a very nice kit with excellent fitting of the parts. Fun pure!

Es-haq Khosravi I've always wanted to build one of these hi-accurate guns! Good luck!
