Hi Zaidi.... I really like your flak Panzer ..nice paint job and all but I really don't think you should add the flag on the back ...the main reason they built these tanks is because they no longer had air superiorty ,so you wouldn't want to annouce the fact that you are German to all those Typhoons ,and T-Bolts now would you ?
The rest is really nice ! congrats and good luck with MOM.

Nice Kubel and I like the camo scheme! The track are very nicely sagged!

Good call Richard... by the time these buggers are out, Luftwaffe had more aircrafts in the junkyard than on the air. However, the weathreing of the flag do look nice.

thanks for the nice words and comments guys

with regards to the flag, yeah,,i already knew i will get this kind of comments and i think i had a few arguments in my ealier postings... in real life, this is not a good idea having the 'target flag' so that allies spitfire can have a clear target on this panzer. However, this vehicle was never saw any real action ... so i think by adding the flag, the vehicle will look somehow cool...

:)

thanks
