Love it. Great job on an old kit. How did you finish the gun barrel Wladimir? Looks fantastic.

An excellent overhaul on an old kit.
Sometimes I think it's more fun to upgrade an older/poorer quality kit than build a good one OOB!

Great work, well done.

Beautiful!
Were did you get the 37mm ammo cans?
I'm looking for Flak 37 & 43 ammo cans.

Thank you for reply, Matthew!
The barrel was painted Model Master Burnt Metal, then weathered with MiG gun metal pigment.
