Excellent work there Ed!!!

One thing to mention though is that this is a FLAK 36 and not a 37.

Great job again,

Rob

Very nicely done!

I have to admit, though, that I'm a touch jealous... it's one of the models I've really wanted to build. Having said that, there's still the future.

Again, well done, and keep it up!

GREAT build. Bill P.


Clayton, I can't claim credit for this as the build belongs to Ed Sarao.

Rob,

Thanks for the catch on the designation, it's been corrected.

Ed-- would you discuss the color and type paint used? It looks as if the ammo boxes are black. What color arre they?
I love the 88 and you did a superb job.
thanks

hi and thanks everyone, painting the flak wasn't easy. the basic color is german grey and gunship grey. i hand painted the camouflage with buff color and darkened the edges. drybrushed the metal grey to simulate expose metal. the ammo boxes is a combination of flat black, buff and flat flesh tone.



you can visit the link below for more details or check the forum on thread 88flak36..
