Greetings everyone, here is my latest built which I would like to share with you all. A 2cm Flak Gun mounted on a standard motorized infantry transport light truck; Krupp.
During WWII, the Germans mounted flak guns on chassis of all descriptions, and not only German vehicles here, but captured equipment as well.
The flak gun mounting details reference was taken from the book "Modeling tanks and millitary vehicels" by Sheperd Paine,
All comments are welcome... thank you

I am a big fan of this. I knew right away where your inspiration was - I have the book too.

I'm not a big fan of chipped paint, but it works well here. Very nice build and a good figure to set it off. Kudos.

Another gem of a build.
I like the weathering and windshield. Very realistic.
Nice one.

'scuse me while I wipe the saliva from my chin... :-) What a build! Outstanding weathering, I really like this alot, now I gotta dig my other Krupp out and do that...I did the same type of build to a previous Krupp, but no winter colors though.
Keep it up!

The weathering and chipping are outstanding. It deserves a review.

Same here. Ive had this idea for sometime to build the Protze and add a flak on the back. Im glad somebody has actually built it though .. it looks stunning. The winter camo adds to the scene nicely. Nice one.

Outstanding build Coca. The conversion as well as the paintjob and weathering looks fantastic.

Greetings guys, thank you... thank you very much for your kind comments and encouragements.
Of course I am very please and honour to write a review or feature on this built, but somehow I did not take a progress pictures of this built, I am terrible sorry about that . However, for my next build I will make an effort to take a progress pictures and a review to share with you all, perhaps a winter white wash M-10 tank destroyer in Ardennes operations.
As for moJimbo, yes I would love to have my own website featuring all the models I have done so far. But again just like any others city-dwellers, work and family commitments sometime leave me little time to persude my others interest, setting up the website is one of them. Not to mention the wife nagging in the back :-)
Thank you
