The FlaK could qualify?.... Unless it's in desert sand of course...!
Perhaps, except for the fact that it's about 90% complete already.
The base
The gun assemblies

Three more, typical of what's found in this book.

Some photos from the book.

Well, Jeroen asked me to post some photos from this book, but here seemed a better place to do that than the trades section, so here we go. The book in question, purchased as (probably redundant and uneccessary), reference for an upcoming 1:32 Wespengeschwader Bf 110C I'll be doing.

As much as it's tempting, I really have no time for it. I have two aircraft, and at least one Flak gun I'm trying to finish by September, plus I'll be starting a 1:24 Huey very soon for a different group build that I've already committed to.
-
This is so tempting. I have a Stug IIIG that's needing some attention, but I simply have too many other commitments right now.
-
Excellent. I really have a "thing" for Jasta 18 machines.

Excellent, thanks. Yet another kit to add to the pile, looks like; a good companion to my Ki-84.
-
OK, I'm now discovering that the kit has some serious detailing issues. Nothing that can't be overcome, but I won't bother with some of the more agregious problems, especially since I discovered them only after gluing some major pieces together.
Anyone know of a good reference work on the Flak 38 quad? I have the Waffen Arsenal book, but it's next to useless for detais. I also have about 17 photos from the web, but they too are far from complete.
-
Yep, I pretty much came to the same conclusion. I have the Waffen Arsenal book on the 20mm Flak guns, and mostly it seems to be the shields themselves that got the treatment.
(The kit is wonderfully fun.)
Thanks,

I love it! Brassin is some good stuff, no doubt about it.

OK, fellas, I have a question. Having just received in the mail the totally cool Dragon 1:6 20mm Flak 38 quad, I'm considering a wiinter whitewash effect. Besides the splinter shields, would any of the supporting framework have also been whitewashed?
Also, does anyone yet do machined barrels for it? Kit barrels seem OK, but replacements might really make it "sing", so to speak.
Thanks a bunch,
-
I agree. Haven't seen the movie yet, Dave, but I'd imagine it's pretty cool.
-
Good looking scheme. I have very little reference on the Wild Sau, save for the Osprey book. (My error, I actually have the JG 400, not 300, book.)
-
I've not seen the newer Tamiya versions, but the old one isn't bad as I recall. You using it for an aircraft diorama? Ju 88 perhaps?
-
Jeroens Hub business! You cut them, he will hub it!
Hubba, Hubba!
Looking real fine, Jeroen, as usual. -
Well I'm not sure at this point. I'll want to amass some more AM for it, as well as sourcing the decals I need; (not the EagleCals versions), so I may or may not have enough time. We'll see how it goes I guess I guess.
-
Hmmmmm, maybe instead of being smart-ass I should be working on MY Fw 190A?....
Quite possibly.

Well, I opened the box and slobbered on the parts, Rog. You're right, it's a splendid model. Africa scheme, no question about it.

Good start, Dave. I have an F-8 I need to get back to.

Following Rog is such a downer.
These arrived today.1:32 Ju 88
And for size comparison, the Dragon 1:6 scale 20mm Flak 38 (I'm a happy pup!)

Do you use Firefox? If you get noscript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/) you can block the wingnutwings.com script temporarily. After that it's just a matter of clicking the picture you want (it will load as a new page not an overlay like before), then saving as usual (eg, right click on it> save image as)
Excellent, thanks you. I've just always used printscreen/paste in the past, but this is much simpler.
-
Sure. Have the DML M-16 with all the a/m goodies in the stash.
That reminds me, I have the large Trumpeter M16 down in the dungeon. Hmmm,...

Looks real good, Brad. I have three in the stash.

Very cool. Eventually, I'll have to have them all.
