Tell me what you think about my almost complete 1/35 88mm. Tamiya model here, excellant everything. With this kit I got no complaints!
It is not finished!

very impressive

Hey Chip,

Looking good so far, and hope to see more.

Dave

Wel done Chip!

Looks great - what Period/Area of Operation are you going to model it for?

During the fall, Eastern Front. Maybe 1943 or maybe 1944. I am thinking about putting it in 3rd SS Totenkopf markings, and making a small dio out of it.
Maybe, Maybe not. Who knows,

~Chip

Thanks guys!
:-)

looks good chip nice to see you have left the dark side will look even better once you start to weather it up a bit what are you going to have towing it? an sd.kfz.11 by AFV club would be nice

hi, good camo, I try to imagine the figs with it, I can't wait for the finished pics!!!!

Laurie

it's looking good,i'm building one myself,just hard to find the time to finish it.i'll have some pics posted when its done. :-) :-)

Looks good. The 88 is my next project. Good work.

Great build Chip! Hope you show us the dio you are going to include it in.

Cheers

Nice job Chip.
It is a great model for the price.

Nice job Chip. I'm not a big fan of German stuff but there is just something about the 88. I have a game called Steel Panthers, it's free download. The sound the 88s make when they fire is something special. I'm sure the game designers did it that way on purpose.

I've got this kit in my stash waiting for my skills to improve. I had it many moons ago when it first came out and I remember how impressed everybody was with this kit. It seems to have held up over the years very well. Isn't it funny though how the instructions show how to paint both Werhmact and Luftwaffe crews, including all the differences between the uniforms, but they only include Werhmact?

Actually I have no idea what I am going to tow it behind. Sdkfz. 251?

Thanks you guys. I will probably have it finished sometime early this week. Weathered and all.

Thanks again, I am glad that you like it.

~Chip :-)

hi chip.. i think u out did your self on this one.
this is a real beauty.
i cant belive i sold my 88 (
the germans had a truck just for pulling the 88 i saw it in my hobby shop

Looking great Chip. CAn't wait to see it in a dio. The camo looks good already..

Thank you gentlemen! I am also working on a PAK 40. so I am dividing my time between these two and school. But I am making great progress! The Pak 40 is painted, just need to add camo to it.

~CHip :-)

Chip, I don't think the 251 could tow an 88. That woud be a good tow vehicle for your Pak 40 though.

A 251 definatly would not tow a 88mm(waits for the pic to prove him wrong

You could try and find the Tamiya half track that did tow it, the SdKfz 8Ton half track. I know it is out of production, but i recently found one and have heard they are available again, nice 88mm, should look even better when you have it weathered

Regards from the Swamp

Great job, Chip! I love the 88...I have built two of them, and am probably not done with 'em yet! :-)

The 7 or 8 ton track they use to make went out of production a little while ago look for it.

I saw a Tamiya 8 ton half track last time I was at the hobby shop. It was a pre owned deal, and it was old, and $55. Is that a good deal. If it is I will get a job and start saving!

~Chip :-)

Chip - I LIKE IT.
The dark color is really well done. I love the soft edge. What color did you use?

i think my hooby shop had that 8 ton cheaper.
i will check it out

you might want to check out ebay...their are a few listed...starting bids are around 20 bucks on one of em'...

Kevin

and nice build on the 88
