Hi Guys
On my first post I had built the figure, and have had the gun built for a few days now. I took some pictures before priming of the gun tonight. Any comments, critic etc are most welcome. How is everyone else coming on with the Cover-up campaign!

Looking good. Can't wait to see it painted. THe big question I have is how you plan on painting it. Will it represent a flak gun thats seen better days, new, or slightly worn?

For myself, coming along okay. My first quick built US Infantry foxhole is done. My main project a M151A2 TOW launcher dug in keeps growing. Started out with just the jeep. Now will include at least 2 soldiers, extra tow missles to include one in a scratch built shipping crate and Camou nets over the entire dio.

Salute Comrade PlasticBattle,
Although both models are in 120 mm, the soldier seems slightly larger in size than the flak gun. I wonder why ...

Regards, Zver

Thanks for your nice words guys.

Manchu34: I have a sneaking suspicion that this gun is gonna be well worn with a few(?) chip marks. I dont think the handschar got the newest and best equipment. This gun is going to be a pretty relaxed, laid back sort of built in position. Thats why I modelled the barrell sitting low, as the figue is sort-of bored looking out with a cigarette.

Zverko: I have two of these guns in 1/35 also, and I stood a 1/35 figure next to them and the scale is pretty similar. They must have been pretty low. If you look at the chair, its half the height of the whole gun.... maybe that helps put the scale in perspective. I dont think there is a problem with them.

The equipment 13. SS deployed with was nearly brand new for a SS Gebirgs division. 7. SS was still using Czech LMGs and captured French tanks. They had a small number of MG42s even in 1944. They were making due with what they had because.
