Hello gents,

Finished this one yesterday, let me show it to you.

The kit is from Extratech in 1/72 scale, a bit rare and it was offered by a friend. The figure came from Preiser's box nº72503 and the ammo plus boxes are in resin, from Attack Models.






Primer and painting:








Weathering with oils:





Finished after some dry-pastel dust:

Thanks for looking

Yo Francisco,




Thanks for sharing!!!

Great work, nice setting, good build and a fine weathering of the 88.

The airbrush title is spot on!

Great work!

is that badge original?
and this is 172nd right?

Hi fransisco,

Very well done, this must be some fiddly modelling!

Having just done a stencil for lettering myself i also appreciate your fine work on your lettering. Looks easier then it is.

Cheers

Hi Francisco, that's a great weathering and modelling work you have been doing. Not too fan of the badge and stuff, that sounds like "glory to our heroes".
Now have a siesta and think "diorama, diorama, diorama..."

Fantastic work. Love the base and the integration of the title and plaque.
The model is your typical greatness.

Boy in reality I wouldn't want to be the loaders of those shells - they're huge!

great work hard to believe its 1/72 scale love the figure with the shell sitting on the amocrates thanks for sharing

This looks very good! Yes, this kit has some very small parts.
Resin-kits are "very special" and needs good modeling-skills, also for their small parts.

But with some good skills, one can build an own model kit. (I have 3 of them as a copy - 1 is completed)
Ahh, I also have an Badger 100 G spray-gun. (but an older model)

greetings...

Thank you guys for your kind words

I caught a bit of flak (pun intended) over the badge in other forums but I see it as an historical object . My intention obviously wasn't /isn't to glorify the nazi regime in any way and, as long as it's not illegal (like in Germany) or particularly offensive to the viewers, I'll keep on using/displaying these symbols on my models.

You did an excellent job on that kit.

Terrific job Francisco. The whole thing looks great. As for the Nazi symbol, I would say that history and historic symbols can not be erased from record just because it does not appeal to some people. When one flaunts a symbol that is associated with cruelty or evil , good people will want to reject it . You have not flaunted it and have used it in good taste.......Al
