Not so. Check the review at PMMS and look at the box art and the unit markings supplied. Nothing from DAK. From March 1943 on, all German equipment was delivered in dunkelgelb and the final user determined what, if any, camo pattern was to be applied from tins of rotbrun and dunkelgrun

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Is that the gun final paint job? unless your scene is in the north afican campainge or any other desert like scene, its proper color should be panzer grey (flat grey will work too).

Looking good so far, but better add some figures with that, and another vehicule, like a supplie truck, or that german jeep, maybe even a kettenkrad.

Thanks for the comments. Also, the tree is not permanent, just there to give me a sense of layout. I am going to have  a hedge in there also with a road on the other side with some Airborne sneaking up on the German gun.

  ditch the tree/bush..it looks too toy-like and out of scale..FlaK looks good..get some men in there because field pieces look odd with no crew nearby..maybe put the gun in an emplacement with sandbags,etc     keep it up and good luck  !!

Hi all, this is my 88mm dio I am working on. As you can see, all I have is the tree, base, and gun. All crits welcome. I will be posting more as progress comes along.
