Hey all I finished this one last week it was a fun but involved build. I used tamiya paints and detailed with lifecolour and Vallejo.


Thanks for looking

Excellent work James.
The flak 38 came out a treat.

Thanks for sharing James. Nicely done overall, also on chips and scratches. I especially like that added touch with the magazine -- Die Wehrmacht? I guess its just my preferrence but I find the track color on the light side -- so am just thinking it could be dried mud or dust that collected. Cheers, Tat

Nice color choice also.
Looks great.
Nice build.
Any hangs on the kit?
Never built a Hobby Boss kit yet.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Jeff it's the only Tristar kit reboxed so it doesn't reflect on hobbyboss and their own moulds but hobbyboss are pretty good in that department.
Tat, I always use a brown/grey mix for my tracks as that's how I have found lightly oxidized tracks to look like. I don't like the old way of black dry brushed silver.

Thanks again all.
James
