You've got the plate welded to the deck of the tank, but the FlaK 37's carriage base is just set on top; you might want to think about adding weld beads along the bottom edges of the carriage where they welded it onto the top plate. Aside from that one niggle, it looks well done; it will be interesting to see it painted and weathered.

Why bother adding an additional armor plate to the hull when the paper Armored flak gun is such a big target?

Because I had to much plastic Card left on the table
I thought itīll look cool on the hull, so no real good reason I know.

I used Adam Wilderīs way. First I paint it in a Brown colour, added rust dots and then I used Chipping medium from Ammo of Mig. Over this I painted some light Grey colour and chipped it with water. Then I added the last rust tones with oil paint and pigments.

This is a great what if here.When you think about it,most of Germany's panzers that was field modified looked like somebody just thought it up.

Looks like you didnīt like the idea. But I got the King Tiger hull and so I made a semi-scratch model for the first time.
And the german build a T-34 with a 88 on it. So why now use a old hull with a 88 for the last attack.
And I used the plate on the hull, because I used the hull MG on my E-75, so I had to fill the hole in the hull.
