Gentlemen,
I have just received Tamiyas kit for a German 8 tonne truck with a four barrel AA gun. The four barrels have 3 white strips on them, I guess it is for number of aircraft shot down.
The questions are:
1. They shot down 3 aircrafts
2. They shot down 12 aircrafts (3 stripes x 4 barrels=12)
3. The markings are not realistic because of the high rate of fire the barrels would heat up and the paint would burn away.
If the correct answer is #3, where did they then put the victory stripes?
Cheers...
