20 MM FlaK 38

Dear Bill,
My question was not very well expressed, I will post a couple of pics I randomly picked from the internet today which I hope will clarify.
These pictures are for discussion purpose only and I would like to apologize to the originators for not posting full thread.

By gun it means the entire unit of the gun mechanic, similar to a MG34 or Browing .50 cal. The entire body of the gun itself should be painted as if it were blued steel.

Next question

The instructions say that the whole guns should be gun metal.
I would have thought that the barrel is bare metal but that the body is the same colour as the carriage?

Please advice.

Thank You
Uto

I miss the hexagon securing nut as well as the grip friendly surface given to the barrel itself.
Is that a scale problem only?
