Anti-aircraft GB

Afternoon all.

Just ordered my Crusader AA from Netmerchants.co.uk, should be here tomorrow .

I've only done one 1/48 scale so I'm looking forward to starting this one. 

Mark

What a good looking model. the tank treads stand  out well done

jd

On the home stretch!

Still more detail painting, adding ALL those ammo cans (28), also some other details.

I am still trying to solve the radio antenna dilemma.

Then on to final weathering.

Tom

Gentlemen,

Here are the badges. Many thanks to PANZERJAGER for his assistance.

Moving right along!

Strange to see a T-34 in Dunkel Gelb...

I have decided to try the "salt Weathering" technique.

Here are a few shots of the camo before I leave for work.

FLAKPANZER T-34 almost ready for paint.

I decided to build the racks out of .010" styrene strip because the photo etch was too thin.

Also Dragon only gives you 8 ammo boxes and you need 28!

So I had to cast copies

Not too bad progress for the weekend, hey?

Questions/comments...

You can use it as soon as you complet a model and post at least one photo of it.  I am wandering if it is possible to add a small silouethe of an airplane to it, you know, the kind that AA guys paint on their guns to mark a kill. One silouethe for each model completed. If somebody could do it that would be great.

castelnuovo,

I just PM'd you your updated art work.

Tom
