I hate to say it but all I see is the Dreaded red cross

Chip, did you even out a basecoat on? I cannot really tell from the picture.

Did I even out the basecoat? Are you kidding I am the basecoat evening master! Actually no, I just sprayed it dark yellow, then did the camo.

I see a correction or 2.First,on the right side of the guns,in the second photo,you can see the little armor shield is twisted,compared to the same part on the other side.Also I believe the empty cartridges were expended out the right side of the gun,and that magazine should be on the other side of the gun assembly.
The radio operator's barrel needs to be painted,and a small sighting hole should be drilled into the kugelblende,to the left of the radio op's gun.
Its coming along nicely though,its better to add repairs than have to dissassemble something.

oops, should have checked my spelling/ grammar. #:-)
What i meant was that it doesn't look like you even put a base coat on. At least that is what it seems too me by the bottom picture.
When i first looked here, there was a red X. Then i tried again and only the bottom picture was here, which is what my comment was based on. Then there were the rest of the pics.
Ok, enough babbling from me! #:-)

Chip:
Looks like you're moving right along. Are you planning on doing a little weathering as well?

One area I see that needs a little putty is where the rear engine deck and the the rear verticle plate meet. Looks like a bit of a gap there...

hi work chip. the paint and the camo came out really nice.
keep up the good work

Nah, thats where the ahh, cooling synthesis......and stuff happened..... you should know that. I mean your an armor man.......know what I mean?

Thanks guys.

Hello chip .
You re moving on a fine work there. One thing i would suggest to improve is the missing reticle on the flak. And also some weathering needed as most pictures of these vehicles i have seen showd them with bended fenders and signs of heavy use everywhere. So weathering washing and pasttelling on this fine camo will give much life to the build you ve done.
Also you have to smoke up your barrels ends cause theyre shooting all the time!!!!!
I am stickin some pics of my flak to see what i mean.





Hope i helped a lil

Tankcarl,

AFAIK, the Flakvierling emptied it's empty cartridges on the front, in a box., each gun had it's own magazine, and as the fired in a diagonal fashion, it gave the loaders time to put on a fresh magazine.

Just something that feels odd, is seeing the vehicle in three-tone "summer" camouflage, and seeing the soldiers in mid-winter-gear.

For the rest of it, superb work, and I hope my first paintwork will be just as good...

Great paint job.
Some things to think about.
The fire extinguisher on the fender has a seam all around it which should have been should be cleaned up.
There are some gaps/less than great fit onthe upper and lower turret parts.
In the future, run the outer edgesof the fenders over some fine grit sandpaper to smooth them out; there area bunch of bumpies on there.
The gunner's chin strap has flesh paint along the front edge of the leather.
