Following on from my last post, here is the completed Zundapp for the Barbarossa campaign. This kit is part of the Flak 88 made by Tamiya which was what I had planned to make for the campaign but did not start early enough to complete. The Zundap is accompanied by a feldgendarm from Dragon which I think has a great post. The figure was done this morning and took about 4 hours. When i was taking pics of the models the paint was not even dry, and got badly smudged on the back (I use a lot of oils which take forever to dry).

Anyway here they are:










BTW how do I document my completion for the purposes of the campaign. Have I done enough to qualify for a campaign ribbon?

The campaign has been lots of fun and I have enjoyed both feedback on my modelling skills as well as seeing everyone else's fantastic work.

Cheers

Well what can you say to this, It is outstanding.
Well done, if I had taken a photo of a real bike it probaly wouldn't look this good.

Good call zer0_co0l
Also after taking the pics I noticed the headlight cover is not hollow and you can see the base colour in the slot. A bit of black should do the trick. The eduard set also came with brake levers for the handle bars but they kept falling off. I will rectify that one day for my own satisfaction.

Very nice work , two very small things that i see . You might want to add a bit of rust to the muffler , and blend the base the rider is standing on into the main base (the plastic card he is glued to really stands out ! ) I have a spare one of these left over from my 88 kit also might have to try something like this . Good job
