Good day all -
Am working on the DML (kit # 9022) FlakPanzer V 'Coelian' ready for primer and paint. Built it mostly OOB, added some photoetch engine deck grills and brass wire handles, made weld seams from putty (like the result ) and used the individual links from the kit (lots of work cleaning them up ).
Comments/criticism welcome, thanks for looking! Scheduled for paint within the week!
Cheers! Tim

Looks good Tim! I want to build one of those sometime so I can do some crazy camo on one.

Nice! I have the Accurate Armor conversion to finish up. Wish I had kept the DML kit because now I need to get a donor chassis.

Thanks for the feedback guys! It was a pretty good build overall, no major issues, minor ones really, just ordinary stuff.
Jeff - planning on a German ambush scheme, have gotten the courage to give that a whirl, so we'll see how that goes. Scheduled for next week in the booth.
Alexander - The kit instructions are dated 1996, as is the date on the box.
Thanks again folks! Appreciate it! Cheers!

Dragon put out a metric ton of kits in 1996, almost every non 'new-gen' kit I have had from them says 1996

I thought so I never knew that dml put a kit of this monster out. I just got out of the hobby at that time.
