Hello,

Another weathering steps was completed

The platform

Platform with the mounting of the Flak

And with the Flak itself


At the moment the rear part of the vehicle looks like that:

And the last glance at the model before galery photos














Thanks for watching!

Wow, just fantastic!!

Thanks!

That is a lovely build. Just the right amount of weathering and really nicely done. I built the Tamiya version with the Flak 37 and really enjoyed building it as it's an interesting vehicle. Any plans to install a crew?

Not sure I'll do any crew or vigniette with this veicle.

Hey Lukasz hope you’ll reconsider not adding figures – this is an excellent-looking vehicle, a crew standing around will bring it alive even more. Incidentally the top-right barrel (looking from the front) seems mis-aligned, you’ll need to fix that.

Hello Tim,

I just fixed this and a left side armor plate which was little too far from the main gun.

The Final effect as below. Thanks for the suport during the building proces.

Beautiful build all-in-all. Great camo and weathering effects!

However hood still looking uneven. Rear driver's side corner of hood is higher than on co-driver's side. Seams are uneven between hood and radiator cowl also between hood and engine side panel.

Another question: Why do you have the spare tire mounted to the back wall of the cab? I admit it looks great as you have it there, but there is already a bracket frame located under the rear end of the gun deck that is intended to hold the spare. The area behind the cab actually has, I believe, a fold down bench seat. Which provides a small, somewhat sheltered area for the gun crew for rest, shelter from the elements as well as some shelter from flying shrapnel.

This area is necessary to be clear and open for proper operation of the ammo loading crew when firing the guns to the rear of the vehicle. Feeding this beast is quite a job when firing at the maximum rate. Adiquate clearance for movement of the gun crew can be an issue here.

Nice touch on the interior and engine detail, keep up the good work, mate! Can't wait to see the completed applied camo


Warm regards from Indonesia,


Garry

Below is your photo of underbody detail showing spare tire mounting bracket:



* Exact mounting means of spare tire, to my knowledge, may have varied but tire always carried in this general location, out of the way, not taking up valuable crew space.

By the way, your model photography is excellent!

Nicely done indeed!

Excellent. My only improvement would be PE tool clamps, especially on the hood where they are so prominent.

Thanks for Your comments.

The hood gave me some troubles. I noticed that it is not even after painting so I decided to not remove it as it would cause extra damage.

as for the spare tire, I know about storage bracket under the platform but decided to make it some more interesting showing it just on the top of the platform in this sheltered section. Also there is a wooden bench in closed position (see previous posts with foto during my build).
